Spanning tree is there to prevent switch loops as well as allow for
redundant paths with switches among other things. If you are just
putting a non bridge device in the port it should be safe to put the
switch port in portfast mode so when there is a link transition, the
port does not block traffic for 20 seconds on that vlan.
