Usage Guidelines
Entering the spanning-tree bpdufilter enable command to enable BPDU Filtering overrides the
spanning tree edge port configuration. That port then returns to the normal spanning tree port type and
moves through the normal spanning tree transitions.
Caution
Be careful when you enter the spanning-tree bpdufilter enable command on specified interfaces.
Explicitly configuring BPDU Filtering on a port this is not connected to a host can cause a bridging loop
because the port will ignore any BPDU that it receives, and the port moves to the STP forwarding state.
Use the
spanning tree edge ports.
Examples
This example shows how to explicitly enable BPDU Filtering on the Ethernet spanning tree edge port
1/4:
switch (config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)# spanning-tree bpdufilter enable
