Which Rapid PVST+ feature should be configured on a switch port to immediately send traffic to a connected server as soon as it is active?

PortFast immediately transitions a switch port to the forwarding state upon activation, skipping the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) listening and learning states, which significantly reduces the time for an end device like a server to become active on the network.

UplinkFast is an STP convergence feature designed for switches with redundant links to an upstream device, not for speeding up end-device connectivity.

BPDU guard is a security feature that shuts down a port if it receives a Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU), preventing unauthorized switches from affecting the STP topology.

Loop guard is an STP feature that puts a port into a loop-inconsistent state if BPDUs are no longer received, helping to prevent potential forwarding loops.
