7.6.2.8 Configuring a Port as an Edge Port and BPDU Filter Port
Context
If a designated port is located at the edge of a network and is directly connected to terminal
devices, this port is called edge port.
An edge port does not receive or process configuration BPDUs, or MSTP calculation. It can
transit from Disable to Forwarding without any delay.
After a designated port is configured as an edge port, the port can still send BPDUs. Then BPDUs
are sent to other networks, causing flapping of other networks. You can configure a port as an
edge port and BPDU filter port so that the port does not process or send BPDUs.
NOTICE
After all ports are configured as edge ports and BPDU filter ports in the system view, none of
ports on the device send BPDUs or negotiate the STP status with directly connected ports on
the peer device. All ports are in forwarding state. This may cause loops on the network, leading
to broadcast storms. Exercise caution when you configure a port as an edge port and BPDU filter
port.
After a port is configured as an edge port and BPDU filter port in the interface view, the port
does not process or send BPDUs. The port cannot negotiate the STP status with the directly
connected port on the peer device. Exercise caution when you configure a port as an edge port
and BPDU filter port.
Procedure
l
Configuring all ports as edge ports and BPDU filter ports in the system view
1.
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
2.
Run:
stp edged-port default
All ports are configured as edge ports.
By default, all ports are non-edge ports.
3.
Run:
stp bpdu-filter default
All ports are configured as BPDU filter ports.
By default, a port is a non-BPDU filter port.
