Parameters
number: Maximum number of times that a switch can remove the MAC address table and ARP entries
within each 10 seconds, in the range of 1 to 255.
Description
Use the stp tc-protection threshold command to set the maximum number of times that a switch can
remove the MAC address table and ARP entries within each 10 seconds.
Use the undo stp tc-protection threshold command to restore the default.
Normally, a switch removes the MAC address table and ARP entries upon receiving a TC-BPDU. If a
malicious user sends large amount of TC-BPDUs to a switch in a short period, the switch may be busy
in removing the MAC address table and ARP entries, which may affect spanning tree calculation,
occupy a large amount of bandwidth and increase switch CPU utilization.
With the TC-BPDU attack guard function enabled, a switch performs a removing operation upon
receiving a TC-BPDU and triggers a timer (set to 10 seconds by default) at the same time. Before the
timer expires, the switch only performs the removing operation for limited times (up to six times by
default) regardless of the number of the TC-BPDUs it receives. Such a mechanism prevents a switch
from being busy in removing the MAC address table and ARP entries.
You can use the stp tc-protection threshold command to set the maximum times for a switch to
remove the MAC address table and ARP entries in a specific period. When the number of the
TC-BPDUs received within a period is less than the maximum times, the switch performs a removing
operation upon receiving a TC-BPDU. After the number of the TC-BPDUs received reaches the
maximum times, the switch stops performing the removing operation. For example, if you set the
maximum times for a switch to remove the MAC address table and ARP entries to 100 and the switch
receives 200 TC-BPDUs in the period, the switch removes the MAC address table and ARP entries for
only 100 times within the period.
Examples
# Set the maximum times for a switch to remove the MAC address table and ARP entries within 10
seconds to 5.
