Switch ports that connect to routers or other switches should have portfast
disabled.
Only enable portfast on switch ports that you are certain connect directly
to workstations.
NT workstations are prone to needing portfast enabled to make connections to
the PDC at boot-up.
Portfast places a port directly into the forwarding state.
This could cause problems with spanning tree if you are not aware of what is
connected to the switch port.

Subject: portfast and router
I have one port on a Catalyst 6500 connected to a router with fast ethernet.
I also have spantree enable on the switches. Currently I have the spantree
portfast feature disabled on that port on the Catalyst 6500 that connects to
the router. Should that be enable or disable and why?
