◆
This command filters all Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) received on
an interface to save CPU processing time. This function is designed to
work in conjunction with edge ports which should only connect end
stations to the switch, and therefore do not need to process BPDUs.
However, note that if a trunking port connected to another switch or
bridging device is mistakenly configured as an edge port, and BPDU
filtering is enabled on this port, this might cause a loop in the spanning
tree.
◆
Before enabling BPDU Filter, the interface must first be configured as an
edge port with the
command.
