There are several `show` commands that can be used to verify [Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)](/spanning-tree-protocol-stp).  Several of these display a table of interfaces along with the role, status and cost of each interface.  An example of such output can be seen here:

```
Switch# show spanning-tree active
VLAN0001
  Spanning tree enabled protocol ieee
  Root ID    Priority    32768
             Address     0001.42e2.cdd0
             Cost        3038
             Port        24 (GigabitEthernet2/0/1)
             Hello Time   2 sec  Max Age 20 sec  Forward Delay 15 sec

  Bridge ID  Priority    49153  (priority 49152 sys-id-ext 1)
             Address     0003.fd63.9580
             Hello Time   2 sec  Max Age 20 sec  Forward Delay 15 sec
             Aging Time 300
  Uplinkfast enabled

Interface        Role Sts Cost      Prio.Nbr Type
---------------- ---- --- --------- -------- --------------------------------
Gi2/0/1          Root FWD 3019      128.24   P2p
Gi0/1            Root FWD 3019      128.24   P2p
<output truncated>
```

If the value in the Type column is P2p, then the port does not have [STP Portfast](https://networklessons.com/switching/cisco-portfast-configuration) enabled.  If PortFast is enabled on such a port, then the Type would show P2p edge.
