Enabling the guard root (STP and RSTP)

Use this procedure to enable the guard root on the switch. The guard root feature provides a way to
enforce the root bridge placement in the network. With the guard root enabled on an interface, the
switch is able to restrict which interface is allowed to be the spanning tree root port or the path to
the root for the switch. The root port provides the best path from the switch to the root switch. By
default, guard root is disabled.
