Enabling TC-BPDU guard

When a switch receives topology change (TC) BPDUs, it flushes the forwarding address entries. If

someone forges TC-BPDUs to attack the switch, the switch will receive a large number of TC-BPDUs within
a short time and be busy with forwarding address entry flushing. This affects network stability.
With the TC-BPDU guard function, you can set the maximum number of immediate forwarding address

entry flushes that the switch can perform every a certain period of time (10 seconds). For TC-BPDUs

received in excess of the limit, the switch performs a forwarding address entry flush when the time period
expires. This prevents frequent flushing of forwarding address entries.
To enable TC-BPDU guard:

Step Command
