Command History
Usage Guidelines The BPDU guard feature provides a secure response to invalid configurations because you must
manually put the port back in service. Use the BPDU guard feature in a service-provider network to
prevent a port from being included in the spanning-tree topology.
You can enable the BPDU guard feature when the switch is operating in the per-VLAN spanning-tree
plus (PVST+), rapid-PVST+, or the multiple spanning-tree (MST) mode.
You can globally enable BPDU guard on all Port Fast-enabled ports by using the spanning-tree portfast
bpduguard default global configuration command.
You can use the spanning-tree bpduguard interface configuration command to override the setting of
the spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default global configuration command.
Examples This example shows how to enable the BPDU guard feature on a port:
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree bpduguard enable
You can verify your setting by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.
disable Disable BPDU guard on the specified interface.
enable Enable BPDU guard on the specified interface.
