Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
The BPDU guard option prevents the port from participating in an active STP topology in case a
BPDU appears on a port unintentionally, or is mis-configured, or is subject to a DOS attack. This
option places the port into an error disable state if a BPDU appears, and a message is logged so that the
administrator can take corrective action.
Note:
A port configured as an edge port on an RSTP switch, immediately transitions to the
Forwarding state. Only ports connected to end-hosts should be configured as edge ports.
Consider an edge port similar to a port with a spanning-tree portfast enabled.
If you do not enable the shutdown-on-violation command, BPDUs are still sent to the CPU.
You cannot enable STP root guard and loop guard at the same time on a port. For example, if you
configure loop guard on a port on which root guard is already configured, the following error message
is displayed:
% Error: RootGuard is configured. Cannot configure LoopGuard.
Enabling Portfast BPDU guard and loop guard at the same time on a port results in a port that remains
in a blocking state and prevents traffic from flowing through it. For example, when Portfast BPDU
guard and loop guard are both configured:
If a BPDU is received from a remote device, BPDU guard places the port in an Err-Disabled
blocking state and no traffic is forwarded on the port.
If no BPDU is received from a remote device, loop guard places the port in a Loop-Inconsistent
blocking state and no traffic is forwarded on the port.
