9. BPDU Filtering

BPDU filt ering is a feat ure that when enabled at a port level, will either shutdow n a port for a specific time
period or forever when it rec eives a Spanning Tree BPDU. For all user access ports, it is recommended to
enable Spanning Tree Fast Start in addition to BPDU filtering. If you select to shut down the port forever,
manual intervention is required to bring the port back up by disabling and then re -enabling the port state.
BPDU filt er is enabled at an interface level using the following commands:
5520-1(config-if)# spanning-tree bpdu-filtering timeout <10-65535 seconds or 0
for infinity>
5520-1(config-if)# spanning-tree bpdu-filtering enable

9.1 BPDU Filtering Configuration

Assuming we wish to enable BPDU filt ering with the timer set to infinity (set to 0) on access ports 1/1 to
1/10, enter the following commands:
5520-1(config)# interface fastEthernet 1/1-10
5520-1(config-if)# spanning-tree learning fast
5520-1(config-if)# spanning-tree bpdu-filtering timeout 0
5520-1(config-if)# spanning-tree bpdu-filtering enable
5520-1(config-if)# exit
