Switchport Host Command

Working through one if the INE workbooks today I discovered a switch command I had never come across before

switchport host

Normally I would enable spanning-tree portfast on all access ports to ensure they come up quicker, and also set them to access ports.

This command does 3 things!

• Configures the switchport for access mode
• Enables portfast
• Disables Etherchannel

Switch1(config)# interface range fa0/1 – 48
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport host
switchport mode will be set to access
spanning-tree portfast will be enabled
channel group will be disabled

I will be using this command from now on!

This seems to be a undocumented feature as I could not find it in the 3560 configuration guide – maybe someone can point me to it?
