Create an Ethernet port profile.
Extreme Networks switches can use Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to activate links with the lowest cost (highest bandwidth), establish backup links where possible, and prevent Layer 2 network loops, which can result in duplicate unicast frames and broadcast storms. Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) protection is a security feature designed to protect the active STP topology by preventing spoofed BPDU packets from entering the STP domain. BPDU protection is applied to edge ports connected to end-user devices that do not run STP. If STP BPDU packets are received on a protected port, this feature disables that port and alerts the network admin.
Note
BPDU Restrict can only be enabled when Edge port is also enabled.Note
The port is re-enabled automatically when time expires.Continue configuring the Ethernet port.
