Command History
Usage Guidelines You can enable the BPDU filtering feature when the switch is operating in the per-VLAN spanning-tree
plus (PVST+), rapid-PVST+, or the multiple spanning-tree (MST) mode.
Caution Enabling BPDU filtering on an interface is the same as disabling spanning tree on it and can result in
spanning-tree loops.
You can globally enable BPDU filtering on all Port Fast-enabled interfaces by using the spanning-tree
portfast bpdufilter default global configuration command.
You can use the spanning-tree bpdufilter interface configuration command to override the setting of
the spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default global configuration command.
Examples This example shows how to enable the BPDU filtering feature on a port:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree bpdufilter enable
You can verify your setting by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.
