RE: Spanning-tree link-type point-to-point or portfast trunk

The first command defines the link as a p-to-p link from the perspective of
Rapid-PVST+.

The second command is used to enable portfast on a trunk: only do this
towards edge switches that have bpduguard enabled so that you do not risk
creating an STP loop.

Cheers,
