This specifies whether the BPDU guard feature is enabled. The STP BPDU guard allows
a network administrator to enforce the STP domain borders and keep the active topology
consistent and predictable. The switches behind the edge ports with STP BPDU guard
enabled do not influence the overall STP topology. At the reception of BPDUs, the BPDU
guard operation disables the port that is configured with this option and transitions the
port into disable state. This would lead to an administrative disable of the port.
