Usage Guidelines

• spanning-tree bpdufilter disable —Unconditionally disables BPDU filtering on the interface.
• no spanning-tree bpdufilter —Enables BPDU filtering on the interface if the interface is in the
Caution Be careful when you enter the spanning-tree bpdufilter enable command. Enabling BPDU filtering on
an interface is similar to disabling the spanning tree for this interface. If you do not use this command
correctly, you might create bridging loops.
You can enable BPDU filtering when the switch is operating in the per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (PVST+)
mode, the rapid-PVST mode, or the multiple spanning-tree (MST) mode.
You can globally enable BPDU filtering on all Port Fast-enabled interfaces with the spanning-tree portfast
bpdufilter default command.
The spanning-tree bpdufilter enable command overrides the PortFast configuration.
