Command Modes Interface configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines BPDU guard is a feature that prevents a port from receiving BPDUs. This feature is typically used in a
service provider environment where the administrator wants to prevent an access port from participating
in the spanning tree. If the port still receives a BPDU, it is put in the ErrDisable state as a protective
measure. This command has three states:
• spanning-tree bpduguard enable—This state unconditionally enables BPDU guard on the
interface.
• spanning-tree bpduguard disable—This state unconditionally disables BPDU guard on the
interface.
• no spanning-tree bpduguard—This state enables BPDU guard on the interface if it is in the
operational PortFast state and if the spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default command is
configured.
Examples This example shows how to enable BPDU guard on this interface:
Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree bpduguard enable
Switch(config-if)#
Related Commands
enable Enables BPDU guard on this interface.
