A network administrator configures PortFast on access ports that are connected to end devices. What does the configuration accomplish?

  • It ensures that an unauthorized switch cannot connect to those access ports.
  • The access ports will transition directly to the forwarding state.
  • It prevents the forwarding of BPDUs to and from those access ports.
  • The access ports are temporarily put into a loop-inconsistent state.

Explanation: The PortFast feature enables access ports connecting to end devices to transition directly to the forwarding state, thereby bypassing the listening and learning states.
