– Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
– Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)
– Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+)
• You cannot enable root guard and loop guard at the same time on an STP port. For example, if you
configure loop guard on a port on which root guard is already configured, the following error
message is displayed: % Error: RootGuard is configured. Cannot configure LoopGuard.
• Enabling Portfast BPDU guard and loop guard at the same time on a port results in a port that remains
in a blocking state and prevents traffic from flowing through it. For example, when Portfast BPDU
guard and loop guard are both configured:
– If a BPDU is received from a remote device, BPDU guard places the port in an Err-Disabled
Blocking state and no traffic is forwarded on the port.
– If no BPDU is received from a remote device, loop guard places the port in a Loop-Inconsistent
Blocking state and no traffic is forwarded on the port.
• When used in a PVST+ network, STP loop guard is performed per-port or per-port channel at a VLAN
level. If no BPDUs are received on a VLAN interface, the port or port-channel transitions to a Loop-
Inconsistent (Blocking) state only for this VLAN.
To enable a loop guard on an STP-enabled port or port-channel interface, use the following command.
• Enable loop guard on a port or port-channel interface.
INTERFACE mode or INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
spanning-tree {0 | mstp | rstp | pvst} loopguard
– 0: enables loop guard on an STP-enabled port assigned to instance 0.
– mstp: enables loop guard on an MSTP-enabled port.
– rstp: enables loop guard on an RSTP-enabled port.
– pvst: enables loop guard on a PVST-enabled port.
To disable STP loop guard on a port or port-channel interface, use the no spanning-tree 0
loopguard command in an INTERFACE configuration mode.
To verify the STP loop guard configuration on a port or port-channel interface, use the show spanning-
tree 0 guard [interface interface] command in a global configuration mode.
Displaying STP Guard Configuration
To display the STP guard configuration, use the following command.
The following example shows an STP network (instance 0) in which:
• Root guard is enabled on a port that is in a root-inconsistent state.
• Loop guard is enabled on a port that is in a listening state.
• BPDU guard is enabled on a port that is shut down (Error Disabled state) after receiving a BPDU.
• Verify the STP guard configured on port or port-channel interfaces.
