BPDU Guard Mode
Synopsis: string - one of the following keywords { untilreset, noshutdown, specify }
Default: noshutdown
The RSTP standard does not address network security. RSTP must process every received BPDU
and take an appropriate action. This opens a way for an attacker to influence RSTP topology by
injecting RSTP BPDUs into the network. BPDU Guard is a feature that protects the network from
BPDUs received by a port where RSTP-capable devices are not expected to be attached. If a BPDU
is received by a port for which the 'Edge' parameter is set to 'TRUE' or RSTP is disabled, the port
will be shut down for the time period specified by this parameter.
• NO SHUTDOWN : BPDU Guard is disabled.
