This document describes a lab that configures Rapid PVST+, PortFast, and BPDU Guard on a network with three switches (S1, S2, S3) and two PCs (PC-A, PC-C). The lab has four parts: 1) build the network and configure basic settings, 2) configure VLANs, native VLAN, and trunks, 3) configure the root bridge and examine PVST+ convergence, and 4) configure Rapid PVST+, PortFast, BPDU Guard, and examine convergence. The objectives are to optimize network performance by configuring Rapid PVST+ for faster convergence, and configure PortFast and BPDU Guard on edge ports.
