Configuring BPDU Filtering
The STP BPDU filter feature allows control of
Here are some sample scenarios in which this feature may be used:
■ To have STP operations running on selected ports of the switch rather than every port of the switch at a time.
■ To prevent the spread of errant BPDU frames.
■ To eliminate the need for a topology change when a port's link status changes. For example, ports that connect to servers and workstations can be configured to remain outside of
| ■ To protect the network from denial of service attacks that use |
| spoofing BPDUs by dropping incoming BPDU frames. For this |
| scenario, BPDU protection offers a more secure alternative, imple- |
| menting port shut down and a detection alert when errant BPDU |
