A network administrator wants to minimize the time it takes for a switch port connected to an end-user device to begin forwarding traffic. Which feature should be configured on this switch port?
Enable Root Guard on the port
Enable Loop Guard on the port
Enable BPDU Guard on the port
Enable PortFast on the port
Configuring PortFast on a switch port causes the port to transition directly to the forwarding state, bypassing the usual listening and learning states of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). This reduces the delay in connectivity for end-user devices. BPDU Guard is used to protect the network from potential loops by disabling a port that receives Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs). Loop Guard prevents alternate or root ports from becoming designated ports due to the loss of BPDUs. Root Guard prevents a designated port from becoming a root port. Therefore, PortFast is the correct feature to minimize the port forwarding delay on an access port.
