RE: Spanning tree .. Killing me .. :-(

P2P interfaces are usually full duplex interfaces (no 10Mb/half duplex,
which will show up as Shr for shared). They will also show as P2P when
connected to full duplex router interfaces, etc.

Yes, edge ports connected to end hosts. If you configure an interface with
portfast, even in PVST - it should show up as an edge port.......is Fa2/44
configured with portfast?

PVST = Per-VLAN Spanning Tree which is Cisco's enhancement to regular old
802.1d. You have "spanning-tree mode pvst" in the config, which is why
"Spanning tree enabled protocol ieee" shows up below.

Why are you expecting RSTP to show up in the command output below??? It
isn't enabled.
