Enabling PortFast BPDU Filtering

These sections describe how to configure PortFast BPDU filtering on the switch:

To enable PortFast BPDU filtering globally, perform this task:

BPDU filtering is set to default on each port. This example shows how to enable PortFast BPDU filtering

on the port and verify the configuration in PVST+ mode:

Note For PVST+ information, see Chapter 15, “Configuring STP and IEEE 802.1s MST.”
