SAGE

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

spanning-tree edge-port

command.
