Portfast

If i enable portfast on port 3 then STP will disable on port 3 or still this port can send or receive BPDUs?

Hi,

portfast will move ports to forwarding state bypassing listerning/learning state.

About:

1/ BPDU sent :  Try "sh span int <port 3> det | i BPDU" and check if you see sent counters incrementing. >>> It still send BPDU

2/  BPDU receive: Yes it still receive BPDU .

When switch will bootup. it will goes to the blocking state or Listening state?

If a portfast port receives a BPDU it will disable portfast and resume "normal" STP port operation.
