How to enable "portfast" on HP A5120-EI?

[Sovransky]

Hi

Is there a  "portfast" mode analogue on HP A5120-EI ? How to turn it on?

Yes, there is.

At interface context level you can execute the stp edged-port enable CLI command to let an interface be treated as an edge port by STP.

Parnassus, thanks for your reply!

Is it good idea to connect HP "edge-ports" to vmware esxi vswitch ports in "Route based on originating port ID" mode? 

ESXi Vswitch0 settings:  Notify switches - YES,  Failback - Yes, Failback mode - Active Active (2 physical adapters)
