Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Enables BPDU Guard by default on all spanning
tree edge ports. By default, global BPDU Guard
is disabled.
switch(config)# spanning-tree port type
edge bpduguard default
Step 2
This example shows how to enable BPDU Guard on all spanning tree edge ports:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# spanning-tree port type edge bpduguard default
Enabling BPDU Guard on Specified Interfaces
You can enable BPDU Guard on specified interfaces. Enabling BPDU Guard shuts down the port if it receives
a BPDU.
You can configure BPDU Guard on specified interfaces as follows:
spanning-tree bpduguard enableUnconditionally enables BPDU Guard on the interface.
spanning-tree bpduguard disableUnconditionally disables BPDU Guard on the interface.
no spanning-tree bpduguardEnables BPDU Guard on the interface if it is an operational edge port
and if the spanning-tree port type edge bpduguard default command is configured.
Before You Begin
Ensure that STP is configured.
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Specifies the interface to configure, and enters the
interface configuration mode.
switch(config)# interface type
slot/port
Step 2
Enables or disables BPDU Guard for the specified
spanning tree edge interface. By default, BPDU Guard is
disabled on physical Ethernet interfaces.
switch(config-if)# spanning-tree
bpduguard {enable | disable}
Step 3
(Optional)
Disables BPDU Guard on the interface.
switch(config-if)# no spanning-tree
bpduguard
Step 4
Enables BPDU Guard on the interface if it is an
operational edge port and if you enter the
spanning-tree port type edge bpduguard
default command.
