Do not enable Portfast BPDU guard and loop guard at the same time on a port. Enabling both features
may result in a port that remains in a blocking state and prevents traffic from flowing through it. For
example, when Portfast BPDU guard and loop guard are both configured:
If a BPDU is received from a remote device, BPDU guard places the port in an Err-Disabled Blocking
state and no traffic is forwarded on the port.
If no BPDU is received from a remote device, loop guard places the port in a Loop-Inconsistent
Blocking state and no traffic is forwarded on the port.
To display the type of STP guard (Portfast BPDU, root, or loop guard) enabled on a port, enter the show
spanning-tree 0 command.
