Question:
  Enable Portfast on interfaces g1/0/12 thru g1/0/16.
  Make sure that the switch will shut down any of these interfaces if it receives a BPDU on one of them.
   
  Solution provided:
   
  int ran g1/0/12 - 16
  spanning-tree portfast
  spanning-tree bpduguard enable
   
  this seems logical but my reading or my confusion seems to lead me to believe that:
   
   if portfast is enabled on the interface, then you don't need to activate bpduguard on the same interface; enter spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default (a global command) instead.
   
  That is:
  globally enter:
  spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default
   
  and at the Interface level:
   
  Interface range g1/0/12 - 16
  spanning-tree portfast
   
  or simply enter:
   
  int ran g1/0/12 - 16
  spanning-tree bpduguard enable
