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 on an STP
port.
Enabling EtherChannel Guard
You can enable EtherChannel guard to detect an EtherChannel misconfiguration if your switch is
running PVST+, rapid PVST+, or MSTP.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable EtherChannel guard. This procedure
is optional.
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default Globally enable BPDU filtering. (By default, BPDU filtering is
disabled.)
Note Globally enabling BPDU filtering enables it only on STP
ports; the command has no effect on UNIs or ENIs on
which STP is not enabled.
Step 3 interface interface-id Specify the interface connected to an end station, and enter
interface configuration mode.
If the interface is a UNI, before you enable Port Fast, you must
change the port type to NNI or ENI to enable STP:
• Enter the port-type nni interface configuration command to
change the port to an NNI with STP enabled by default.
• Or enter the port-type eni and spanning-tree interface
configuration commands to configure the port as an ENI STP
port.
Step 4 spanning-tree portfast Enable the Port Fast feature.
Step 5 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6 show running-config Verify your entries.
Step 7 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 spanning-tree etherchannel guard misconfig Enable EtherChannel guard.
Step 3 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4 show spanning-tree summary Verify your entries.
Step 5 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
