Chapter16 Configuring Optional Spanning-Tree Features
Configuring Optional Spanning-Tree Features
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to globally enable the BPDU filtering feature.
This procedure is optional.
To disable BPDU filtering, use the no spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default global configuration
command.
You can override the setting of the no spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default global configuration
command by using the spanning-tree bpdufilter enable interface configuration command.
Enabling UplinkFast for Use with Redundant Links
UplinkFast cannot be enabled on VLANs that have been configured for switch priority. To enable
UplinkFast on a VLAN with switch priority configured, first resto r e t he swi tch p rior ity on the VLAN to
the default value by using the no spanning-tree vlan vlan-id priority global configuration command.
Note When you enable UplinkFast, it affects all VLANs on the switch. You cannot configure UplinkFast on
an individual VLAN.
You can enable the UplinkFast feature for ra pid PVST+ or for the MSTP, but the feature remains disabled
(inactive) until you change the spanning-tree mode to PVST+.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable UplinkFast. This procedure is
optional.
Command Purpose
Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step2 spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default Globally enable BPDU filtering.
By default, BPDU filtering is disabled.
Step3 interface interface-id Specify the interface connected to an end station, and enter
interface configuration mode.
Step4 spanning-tree portfast Enable the Port Fast feature.
Step5 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step6 show running-config Verify your entries.
Step7 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step2 spanning-tree uplinkfast [max-update-rate
pkts-per-second]Enable UplinkFast.
(Optional) For pkts-per-second, the range is 0 to 32000 packets per
second; the default is 150.
If you set the rate to 0, station-learning frames are not g ener ated,
and the spanning-tree topology converges more slowly after a loss
of connectivity.
Step3 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
