Just a side note on using portfast...

If you have portfast enabled on a port, and the port receives a BPDU, it
will revert to standard STP BLOCK-LISTEN-LEARN-FORWARD timers.

There is though a feature called "Spanning Tree Portfast BPDU Guard
Enhancement"
with which, if enabled via "set spantree portfast bpdu-guard enable",
the port
will go to an error state on reception of BPDUs.

See http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/65.html for details.
