Configuring STP Extensions
Before You Begin
Ensure that STP is configured.
Ensure that you have configured some spanning tree edge ports.
Procedure
Step 1
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 enable—Unconditionally enables BPDU Guard on the interface.
• spanning-tree bpduguard disable—Unconditionally disables BPDU Guard on the interface.
• no spanning-tree bpduguard—Enables 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.

Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Enables BPDU Guard by default on all spanning
tree edge ports. By default, global BPDU Guard
is disabled.
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Specifies the interface to configure, and enters the interface
configuration mode.
