When configuring a switch port connected to a host device, which setting allows the port to immediately enter the forwarding state, bypassing standard spanning tree states?
Enable PortFast on the port
Set the port to trunk mode
Enable Loop Guard on the port
Configure BPDU Guard on the port
Enabling PortFast on a switch port allows it to skip the listening and learning states of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and immediately transition to the forwarding state when the link becomes active. This reduces the time it takes for end devices like computers and servers to start communicating on the network. The other options do not provide this immediate transition and are used for different purposes in STP.
