Figure 127. Enabling BPDU Guard
Dell EMC Networking OS Behavior: BPDU guard and BPDU filtering both block BPDUs, but are two separate features.
BPDU guard:
is used on edgeports and blocks all traffic on edgeport if it receives a BPDU.
drops the BPDU after it reaches the RP and generates a console message.
BPDU filtering:
disables spanning tree on an interface
drops all BPDUs at the line card without generating a console message
Example of Blocked BPDUs
