Refer to the exhibit. An architect reviews the low-level design of a company's enterprise network and
advises optimizing the STP convergence time. Which functionality must be to Gi1/0/1-10 to follow
the architect's recommendation?

Option A makes sense here. PortFast speeds up STP convergence on access ports by moving them directly to forwarding state. Not sure about uplinks, but for regular user ports this is pretty much required. Someone correct me if I’m missing a catch.
Probably A here. PortFast is all about speeding up STP convergence for access ports, which matches the goal. If you want to double-check, Cisco's official guide and some lab practice on PortFast really help clear this up. Always open to a second opinion if I missed something.
Likely I ran into a similar one in exam. on a practice test and it was A.
C or A. I get why people say PortFast (A) since that's the classic STP tweak for quick convergence on access ports, but if those interfaces are acting as uplinks, UplinkFast (C) might fit too. Kinda depends how those Gi1/0/1-10 are being used on the diagram. I think it's A, but wouldn't be shocked by C if they're uplink connections.
A for sure. PortFast moves access ports to forwarding really fast, which is what you want for convergence. Not seeing how B or D would fit unless the goal was security over speed.
Probably A, since PortFast gets access ports out of blocking state almost instantly and that's what you want for fast convergence. C (UplinkFast) is for non-root switch uplinks, not regular server/user ports. Seen similar wording on exam reports too, pretty sure it's A but open if anyone sees something in the diagram I missed.
If those Gi1/0/1-10 are trunk ports and not access, wouldn't C actually be the right call here?
A , PortFast is meant for speeding up STP on access ports. C is tempting but mainly for uplinks, so feels like a trap.
Probably A for PortFast. That speeds up STP convergence on access ports because they skip the listening/learning states. If those Gi1/0/1-10 are access, this is the way to go, I think. Let me know if you see something else.
Not B here, PortFast is what actually improves STP convergence time. Root guard’s for role protection, not speed.
