You can disable it on a Hub connection, but you are sending Mr. Murphy (of
Murphy's law) an invitation to interrupt your vacation when one of the
less-knowledgable "assists" you in connecting up the network.

A hub uplink to a switch will cause the 50 Second Delay
(Blocking-Listening-Learning-Forwarding) only when the (hub) uplink port is
initialized, not for each client off of the hub.
Hope that helps,

I can see portfast being a bad idea on a link to another switch or a
router..... But would it really matter on a hub?
