4. Enter the spanning-tree command to restrict the CEE interface from becoming a root port.

Restricting the topology change notification

From the CEE interface, use this command to restrict the topology change notification BPDUs sent
on the interface. By default, the restriction is disabled.
To restrict the topology change notification BPDUs sent on the CEE interface, perform the following
steps from Privileged EXEC mode.
