Generally, with portfast enabled you will get a connection to the network in
1-3 seconds, w/o portfast it can take up to 50 seconds. There are multiple
versions of STP that work faster and can "hide" this affect. Etherchannel
"bonds" multiple channels (NICs), this must be set on the switch and the
server. You could check this by looking at the config of your server.
