Question

Refer to the exhibit. Rapid PVST+ is enabled on all switches. Which command set must be configured on Switch1 to achieve the following results on port fa0/1?

  • When a device is connected, the port transitions immediately to a forwarding state.
  • The interface should not send or receive BPDUs.
  • If a BPDU is received, it continues operating normally.

Why each option

To enable immediate port forwarding and suppress BPDU transmission/reception while maintaining operational status upon BPDU receipt, the `spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default` command is used.

ASwitch1(config)# interface f0/1

This command only enters interface configuration mode and does not configure PortFast, BPDU filtering, or specify behavior upon BPDU reception.

BSwitch1(config)# spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter defaultCorrect

The `spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default` command configures PortFast globally and enables BPDU filtering on all PortFast-enabled interfaces. This suppresses BPDUs, allows immediate port transition to forwarding, and, if a BPDU is received, the port reverts to normal STP operation without disabling.

CSwitch1(config)# spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default

The `spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default` command enables BPDU Guard globally, which disables a PortFast-enabled port upon receiving a BPDU, directly contradicting the requirement to continue operating normally.

DSwitch1(config)# interface f0/1

This command only enters interface configuration mode and does not configure PortFast, BPDU filtering, or specify behavior upon BPDU reception.
