Enabling PortFast on a Trunk Port

Caution You can use PortFast to connect a single end station or a switch port to a switch port. If you enable
PortFast on a port that is connected to another Layer 2 device, such as a switch, you might create network
loops.
To enable PortFast on a trunk port, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1
Enable PortFast on a trunk port that is
connected to a single workstation, switch,
or server.
Step 2
Verify the PortFast setting on a trunk port.
This example shows how to enable PortFast on port 1 of module 4 of a trunk port, bring the trunk port
to a forwarding state, and verify the configuration (the PortFast status is shown in the "Fast-Start"
column):
Console> (enable) set spantree portfast 4/1 enable trunk
Warning:Connecting Layer 2 devices to a fast start port can cause
temporary spanning tree loops. Use with caution.
