Edge Port BPDU Filtering:
The purpose of Port BPDU Filtering is to prevent the switch from sending BPDU frames on
ports that are connected to end devices.
Edge Port BPDU Guard:
Edge ports generally connect directly to PC, file servers or printers. Therefore, edge ports are
configured to allow rapid transition. Under normal situations, edge ports should not receive configuration BPDUs.
However, if they do, this probably is due to malicious attacks or mis-settings. When edge ports receive configuration
BPDUs, they will be automatically set to non-edge ports and start a new spanning tree calculation process.
BPDU Guard is therefore used to prevent the device from suffering malicious attacks. With this function enabled,
when edge ports receive configuration BPDUs, STP disables those affected edge ports. After a period of recovery time,
those disabled ports are re-activated.
Port Error Recovery:
When enabled, a port that is in the error-disabled state can automatically be enabled after a
certain time.
Port Error Recovery Timeout:
The time that has to pass before a port in the error-disabled state can be enabled. The
allowed range is 30
~
86400 seconds.
