© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BCMSN v Summary BPDU guard and BPDU filtering protect the operation of STP on PortFast-configured ports. When BPDU guard is configured globally, it affects all PortFast configured ports. BPDU guard can be configured per port, even on those ports not configured with PortFast. BPDU filtering can be configured globally or per port. The root switch cannot be elected via BPDUs received on a root-guard-configured port. Root guard can be configured and verified using various commands.
