Yes it does. The only thing that portfast does is make a port go straight
into forwarding mode on becoming active. It still sends/receives BPDUs and
will block the port if it detects a loop. If the loop is then removed the
port will go through listening and learning states.

     I am curious if anyone knows if portfast sends and receives BPDUs or
not. Thanks in advance.
