Simple Interpretation Question.

Hello Guys

 

Ok a simple one, this is more an interpretation question than a Technical
Problem..

 

Ports in vlan 2, is presenting a problem with convergence time so the
administrator has decided to configure port-fast..

 

Here is how we configure that,

_guide_chapter09186a00800c9fde.html#93249

More simple than that could not be.

 

Now the interpretation question.

 

In Order to prevent problems in the future ensure that any port in Vlan 2
will be shut down if a device running spanning-tree protocol is detected (We
need to guard from others <the way that this fits in my mind)

 

Vlan 2 has 2 interfaces fa0/10 and fa0/11, in switch 1

 

So we can do this by configuring bpud-guard, in global process or at
interface level..

 

If I do it at interface level (with or without the use of smart ports) to
all ports of Vlan 2 will be the same as doing it at Global Level??

My question here is because we could also have other ports in other vlans
(not indicated in the wording) using PortFast, and if we configure this at
global level would not be correct right?? And also the only difference I can
see is that BPDU Guard will also work at Interface level without turning on
PortFast?

 

Thanks

Victor.
