80. What does the spanning-tree portfast command do when applied to a switch port?
- a) Enables faster IP address assignment
- b) Prevents the port from causing loops
- c) Immediately transitions the port to forwarding state
- d) Converts the port into a trunk port
Answer: c) Immediately transitions the port to forwarding state
