Troubleshooting BPDU Guard
The following procedures provide information to troubleshoot issues with Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) Guard.
No Packets Received on the Port
For BPDU Guard to work on a port, the port must receive BPDU packets. Perform the following procedure to troubleshoot cases when the port does not receive packets.
Procedure
Example
Port 1/8 receives packets. The remote port is disabled and does not send BPDU packets.
The following example shows that BPDU Guard is enabled for port 1/8. The BPDU Guard administrative state for the port is enabled but the timer counter is 0.

Variable Definitions
Use the data in the following table to use the show spanning-tree bpduguard command.
Variable |
Value |
---|---|
{slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]} |
Identifies the slot and port in one of the following formats: a single slot and port (slot/port), a range of slots and ports (slot/port-slot/port), or a series of slots and ports (slot/port,slot/port,slot/port). If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port. |
Use the data in the following table to use the show interface gigabitEthernet statistics verbose command.
Variable |
Value |
---|---|
{slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]} |
Identifies the slot and port in one of the following formats: a single slot and port (slot/port), a range of slots and ports (slot/port-slot/port), or a series of slots and ports (slot/port,slot/port,slot/port). If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port. |
Use the data in the following table to use the show spanning-tree command.
Variable |
Value |
---|---|
{mstp|rstp} |
Specifies the spanning tree protocol. |
{slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]} |
Identifies the slot and port in one of the following formats: a single slot and port (slot/port), a range of slots and ports (slot/port-slot/port), or a series of slots and ports (slot/port,slot/port,slot/port). If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port. |
