Displaying STP Guard Configuration
To verify the STP guard configured on PVST interfaces, enter the show spanning-tree pvst [vlan vlan-id]
guard command. Refer to Chapter 52, Spanning Tree Protocol for information on how to configure and use
the STP root guard, loop guard, and BPDU guard features.
Figure 40-6 shows an example for VLAN 5 in a PVST network 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 forwarding state.
• BPDU guard is enabled on a port that is shut down.
