edge safeguard
Loop prevention and
detection on an edge port configured for RSTP. Configuring edge safeguard on RSTP edge ports
can prevent accidental or deliberate misconfigurations (loops) resulting from connecting two
edge ports together or from connecting a hub or other non-STP switch to an edge port. Edge
safeguard also limits the impact of broadcast storms that might occur on edge ports. This
advanced loop prevention mechanism improves network resiliency but does not interfere with
the rapid convergence of edge ports.
