Configuring BPDU Skewing on the Switch
Commands that support the spanning-tree BPDU skewing allow you to perform these functions:
•
•
•
To change how spanning tree performs BPDU skewing statistics gathering, enter the set spantree
bpdu-skewing command. The bpdu-skewing command is disabled by default.
To configure the BPDU skewing statistics gathering for a VLAN, perform this task in privileged mode:

Enable or disable BPDU skewing. The default is disabled.
Modify the show spantree summary output to show if the skew detection is enabled and for which
VLANs or PVST+ or MISTP instances the skew was detected.
Provide a display of the VLAN, PVST+, or MISTP instance and the port that is affected by the skew,
including this information:
The last skew duration (in absolute time)
–
The worst skew duration (in absolute time)
–
The date and time of the worst duration
