Usage
Information
The
BPDU guard
option prevents the port from participating in an active STP
topology in case a BPDU appears on a port unintentionally, or is misconfigured, or
is subject to a DOS attack. This option places the port into an Error Disable state if a
BPDU appears and a message is logged so that the administrator can take
corrective action.
NOTE: A port configured as an edge port, on an RSTP switch, immediately
transitions to the Forwarding state. Only configure ports connected to end-
hosts as edge ports. Consider an edge port similar to a port with a
spanning-
tree portfast
enabled.
