PortFast
“Portfast” bypasses the Spanning Tree states and brings the port up as quickly as possible. Use it only if you connect a regular host (e.g Computer) on the port. Do not use this command when the port is trunk or if you connect other switches on the specific port.
MySwitch(config)# interface FastEthernet 0/1
MySwitch(config-if)# spanning-tree portfast

MySwitch(config-vlan)#exit
MySwitch(config)#exit
MySwitch#show vlan brief [Verify the vlan database]
Assigning access ports to a vlan
MySwitch(config)#interface g0/1
MySwitch(config-if)#switchport mode access [Set the interface in access mode]
MySwitch(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20 [Assign the port to vlan 20]
MySwitch(config-if)#exit
The following commands will select a range of interfaces (from 1 to 24) and add all of them to vlan20
MySwitch(config)#interface range gigabitEthernet 0/1-24
MySwitch(config-if)#switchport mode access
MySwitch(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20
MySwitch(config-if)#exit

Branches, Part II

Now that we’ve covered the mechanics behind Git branches, we can discuss the practical impact that they have on the software development process. Instead of introducing new commands, this module covers how the typical Git user applies this workflow to real projects, as well as some of the problems that arise in a branched environment. To Git, a branch is a branch, but it’s often useful to assign special meaning to different branches. For example, we’ve been using master as the stable branch for our example project, and we’ve also used a temporary branch to add some CSS formatting. Temporary branches like the latter are called topic branches because they exist to develop a certain topic, then they are deleted. We’ll work with two types of topic branches later in this module. Amid our exploration of Git branches, we’ll also discover that some merges cannot be “fast-forwarded.” When the history of two branches diverges, a dedicated commit is required to combine the branches. This ...

Distributed Workflows

Now that we know how to share information via a centralized workflow, we can appreciate some of the drawbacks of this collaboration model. While it may be convenient, allowing everyone to push to an “official” repository raises some legitimate security concerns. It means that for anyone to contribute content, they need access to the entire project. This is fine if you’re only interacting with a small team, but imagine a scenario where you’re working on an open-source software project and a stranger found a bug, fixed it, and wants to incorporate the update into the main project. You probably don’t want to give them push-access to your central repository, since they could start pushing all sorts of random snapshots, and you would effectively lose control of the project. But, what you can do is tell the contributor to push the changes to their own public repository. Then, you can pull their bug fix into your private repository to ensure it doesn’t contain any undeclared code. If y...
