Information
If you enable portfast bpduguard on an interface and the interface receives a BPDU, the software
disables the interface and sends a message stating that fact. The port is in ERR_DISABLE mode, yet
appears in the show interface commands as enabled.
If shutdown-on-violation is not enabled, BPDUs will still be sent to the RPM CPU.
stp-id
Enter the Spanning Tree Protocol group ID.
Range: 0
cost cost (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword cost followed by a number as the cost.
Range: 1 to 65535
