Enabling PortFast Edge BPDU Filtering
If the port configuration is not set to default, then the PortFast edge configuration does not affect PortFast
edge BPDU filtering. Table 26-1 lists all the possible PortFast edge BPDU filtering combinations.
PortFast edge BPDU filtering allows access ports to move directly to the forwarding state as soon as the
end hosts are connected.
