spanning-tree guard
Loop guard is most effective when it is configured on the entire switched network. When the switch is
operating in PVST+ or rapid-PVST+ mode, loop guard prevents alternate and root ports from becoming
designated ports, and spanning tree does not send bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) on root or alternate
ports. When the switch is operating in MST mode, BPDUs are not sent on nonboundary interfaces if the
interface is blocked by loop guard in all MST instances. On a boundary interface, loop guard blocks the
interface in all MST instances.
To disable root guard or loop guard, use the spanning-tree guard none interface configuration
command. You cannot enable both root guard and loop guard at the same time.
You can override the setting of the spanning-tree loopguard default global configuration command by
using the spanning-tree guard loop interface configuration command.
Examples This example shows how to enable root guard on all the VLANs associated with the specified port:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree guard root
This example shows how to enable loop guard on all the VLANs associated with the specified port:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree guard loop
You can verify your settings by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.
