Hello Sean Take a look at this post that deals with these issues: > [@Spanning-tree portfast edge & network](https://forum.networklessons.com/t/spanning-tree-portfast-edge-network/4311/2): > > Hello Cecil! I’ll go through your questions below. portfast edge is used to configure a port on which an end device is connected, such as a PC. All ports directly connected to end devices cannot create bridging loops in the network. Therefore, the edge port directly transitions to the forwarding state, and skips the listening and learning stages. However, the specific command configures a port such that if it receives a BPDU, it immediately loses its edge port status and becomes a normal … I hope this has been helpful!
