BPDUGuard: A Spanning Tree Protocol Enhancement
Aug 30, 2016
Yet another new topic on the new CCNA R/S v3 exam is BPDUGuard, which is an enhancement to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) available on our Cisco Catalyst switches. Specifically, BPDUGuard can help prevent a Layer 2 topological loop by placing a port configured for PortFast into an Error-Disabled state if that port receives a Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU).
This video demonstrates the operation of BPDUGuard, and then trains you on how to configure this simple yet powerful feature.
