Sticking a router in a port fast port is probably okay, since there should be no Bpdu's generated by the router. Most Cisco switches don't allow the trunk function And the stp-portfast function on at the same time...you do not want the portfast Function enabled on trunks...

A router is a layer 3 device not a layer 2, so I think this is not a risk, am I right? This way the port wakes up quickly, right? And the final question: If I configure a portfast port with a trunk an connect it to a router? Thanks my friends.
