Spanning Tree Commands

• Before enabling BPDU Guard, the interface must be configured as an edge port with the
spanning-tree edge-port command. Also note that if the edge port attribute is disabled on an
interface, BPDU Guard will also be disabled on that interface.
Example
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5
Console(config-if)#spanning-tree edge-port
Console(config-if)#spanning-tree bpdu-guard
Console(config-if)#
Related Commands

spanning-tree cost
This command configures the spanning tree path cost for the specified interface. Use the no form
to restore the default auto-configuration mode.
Syntax
spanning-tree cost cost
no spanning-tree cost
cost - The path cost for the port. (Range: 0 for auto-configuration, 1-65535 for short path
cost method
7
, 1-200,000,000 for long path cost method)
Default Setting
By default, the system automatically detects the speed and duplex mode used on each port, and
configures the path cost according to the values shown below. Path cost “0” is used to indicate
auto-configuration mode. When the short path cost method is selected and the default path cost
recommended by the IEEE 8021w standard exceeds 65,535, the default is set to 65,535.
