Here's a Microsoft article that discussed how DHCP can have problems with
the Spanning Tree.

My understanding from this article is that when a port goes active (due to
powerup of a PC), that it will cause the Spanning Tree Algorithm to
determine if there's a loop, effectively shutting down the port for 10-15
seconds.
If I'm to take this literally, then it would behoove me to implement
PortFast as much as possible, so that I don't have any problems. Funny, I
haven't noticed this before though.
Anyone have comments on this?
