link type is point-to-point; otherwise it equals the spanning-tree’s maximum age
(see Configuring Global Settings for STA on page 3-198).
An interface cannot function as an edge port under the following conditions:
- If spanning tree mode is set to STP (page 3-198), edge-port mode can be
manually enabled or set to auto, but will have no effect.
- If loopback detection is enabled (page 3-195) and a loopback BPDU is detected,
the interface cannot function as an edge port until the loopback state is released.
- If an interface is in forwarding state and its role changes, the interface cannot
continue to function as an edge port even if the edge delay time has expired.
If the port does not receive any BPDUs after the edge delay timer expires, its role
changes to designated port and it immediately enters forwarding state (see
Displaying Interface Settings for STA on page 3-202).
The edge delay time equals the protocol migration time when the port link type
is point-to-point (which is 3 seconds as defined in IEEE 802.3D-2004 17.20.4),
otherwise it equals the maximum age for configuration messages (see
Displaying Global Settings for STA on page 3-195).

BPDU Guard
– This feature prevents loops by disabling an edge port when a
BPDU is received instead of putting it into the spanning tree blocking state. In a
valid configuration, configured edge ports should not receive BPDUs. If an edge
port receives a BPDU an invalid configuration exists, such as a connection to an
unauthorized device. The BPDU guard feature provides a secure response to
invalid configurations because an administrator must manually enable the port.
(Default: Disabled)
•
BPDU Filter
– BPDU filtering allows you to avoid transmitting BPDUs on
configured edge ports that are connected to end nodes. By default, STA sends
BPDUs to all ports regardless of whether administrative edge is enabled on a port.
BDPU filtering is configured on a per-port basis. (Default: Disabled)
