Advanced Networking Administrator Test Prep

Answer: C - To disable STP on a port connected to the server, Dave must use the spanning-tree portfast command.

Key Takeaway: Spanning-tree portfast causes a port to enter the spanning-tree forwarding state immediately, bypassing the listening and learning states. Portfast can be used on switch ports connected to a single workstation or server. This allows the devices to connect to the network immediately, instead of waiting for the port to transition from the listening and learning states to the forwarding state. Portfast should be used only when connecting a single end station to a switch port.
