,

Device A connects to Device B, a third-party device that has different MSTP implementation. Both
devices are in the same region.

Device B is the regional root bridge, and Device A is the downstream device.

Configuring Protection Functions

An MSTP-enabled device supports the following protection functions:

BPDU guard

Root guard

Loop guard

TC-BPDU guard

Configuration prerequisites

MSTP has been correctly configured on the device.

Enabling BPDU guard

For access layer devices, the access ports generally connect directly with user terminals (such as PCs)
or file servers. In this case, the access ports are configured as edge ports to allow rapid transition.
When these ports receive configuration BPDUs, the system will automatically set these ports as
non-edge ports and start a new spanning tree calculation process. This will cause a change of network
topology. Under normal conditions, these ports should not receive configuration BPDUs. However, if
someone forges configuration BPDUs maliciously to attack the devices, network instability will occur.

MSTP provides the BPDU guard function to protect the system against such attacks. With the BPDU
guard function enabled on the devices, when edge ports receive configuration BPDUs, MSTP will
close these ports and notify the NMS that these ports have been closed by MSTP. Those ports closed
thereby can be restored only by the network administers.

Make this configuration on a device with edge ports configured.

Follow these steps to enable BPDU guard:
