ExtremeWare 7.7 Command Reference Guide 1617
enable ignore-bpdu vlan
enable ignore-bpdu vlan <vlan name>
Description
Configures the switch to ignore the STP BPDUs, which prevents ports in the VLAN from becoming part
of an STPD.
NOTE

Syntax Description
Default
Disabled
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to allow a BPDU to traverse a VLAN without being processed by STP, even if STP is
enabled on the port. If you have a known topology and have switches outside your network that are
within your STPD, use this feature to keep the root bridge within your network.
Use the disable ignore-bpdu vlan <vlan name> command to allow the switch to recognize STP BPDUs.
Example
The following command configures the switch to ignore STP BPDUs on the VLAN accounting:
enable ignore-bpdu vlan accounting
