5324 and Rapid Spanning Tree

A Dell phone tech recommended that FastLink/PortFast should be enabled on every port - including ports linking switches/network devices - and that no harm would result because if the switch received a BPDU packet it would revert to using regular spanning tree. Is this correct?
 
Thanks

    That is correct. The 3300/5300/6024 switches will automatically disable portfast if a BPDU is received on the port. They will send a trap to the console when this happens.
