clear spantree spanguard
Enterasys C3 Configuration Guide 13-27
A port can be defined as an edge (user) port using the set spantree adminedge command,
described in “set spantree adminedge” on page 13-43. A port designated as an edge port is
expected to be connected to a workstation or other end-user type of device, and not to another
switch in the network. When SpanGuard is enabled, if a non-loopback BPDU is received on an
edge port, the Spanning Tree state of that port will be changed to “blocking” and will no longer
forward traffic. The port will remain disabled until the amount of time defined by set spantree
spanguardtimeout (“set spantree spanguardtimeout” on page 13-28) has passed since the last
seen BPDU, the port is manually unlocked (set or clear spantree spanguardlock, “clear / set
spantree spanguardlock” on page 13-29), the configuration of the port is changed so it is not
longer an edge port, or the SpanGuard function is disabled.
SpanGuard is enabled and disabled only on a global basis (across the stack, if applicable). By
default, SpanGuard is disabled and SpanGuard traps are enabled.
