Inquiry About Applying PortFast When Connecting a Switch to a Firewall

[qkrrudgh036]

Hello,
I have a question regarding interface configuration.
Should PortFast be enabled on the interface that connects to a firewall?
If it should be enabled, could you please explain why it is necessary?
And if it's not needed, I would appreciate it if you could clarify the reason as well.
Thank you!

Any device 

Host/server/router/FW not generate bpdu and not form L2 loop 

You can config port in SW connect to it with portfast.

Why? It reduce time for link to be FWD (STP forward state).

So Yes port connect to FW can config with portfast.
