Usage Guidelines

Bridge Assurance runs only on Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) network ports.
Note
If you mistakenly configure ports connected to hosts as STP network ports and enable Bridge Assurance,
those ports will automatically move into the blocking state.
Note
Bridge Assurance is enabled by default, and all interfaces configured as spanning tree network ports have
Bridge Assurance enabled.

To remove this configuration, use the
no spanning-tree port type

spanning-tree port type
command, the software returns the port to the global default setting for network
port types.
You can configure all ports that are connected to switches as spanning tree network ports by default by
entering the

command.
