Usage Guidelines
Use the BPDU guard feature in a service-provider environment to prevent an access port from participating
in the spanning tree. If the port still receives a BPDU, it is put in the error-disabled state as a protective
measure. This command has three states:
• spanning-tree bpduguard enable —Unconditionally enables BPDU guard on the interface.
• spanning-tree bpduguard disable —Unconditionally disables BPDU guard on the interface.
• no spanning-tree bpduguard —Enables BPDU guard on the interface if the interface is in the operational
PortFast state and if you configure the spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default command.
Examples
This example shows how to enable BPDU guard on an interface:
Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree bpduguard enable
Switch(config-if)#
