Command
History
spanning-tree mstp edge-port
s z
Configures the interface as an Multiple Spanning Tree edge port and optionally a Bridge Protocol Data
Unit (BPDU) guard.

Usage
Information
On an MSTP switch, a port configured as an edge port will immediately transition to the forwarding
state. Only ports connected to end-hosts should be configured as an edge port. Consider an edge port
similar to a port with spanning-tree portfast enabled.
If shutdown-on-violation is not enabled, BPDUs will still be sent to the RPM CPU.
tc-flush-standard
s z
Enable the MAC address flushing upon receiving every topology change notification.
Syntax
tc-flush-standard
To disable, use the no tc-flush-standard command.
Defaults
Disabled

mstp
edge-port
Enter the keywords mstp followed by the keyword edge-port to configure the
interface as a Multiple Spanning Tree edge port.
bpduguard (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword portfast to enable Portfast to move the interface into
forwarding mode immediately after the root fails.
Enter the keyword
bpduguard to disable the port when it receives a BPDU.
shutdown-on-
violation
