Configuring BPDU Skewing on the Switch
Task
Step 1
Configure BPDU skewing.
Step 2
Verify the configuration.
This example shows how to configure BPDU skewing and display the skewing statistics:
Console> (enable) set spantree bpdu-skewing
Usage:set spantree bpdu-skewing <enable|disable>
Console> (enable) set spantree bpdu-skewing enable
Spantree bpdu-skewing enabled on this switch.
Console> (enable)
Console> (enable) show spantree bpdu-skewing 1
Bpdu skewing statistics for vlan 1
Port
------
8/2
8/4
8/6
8/8
8/10
8/12
8/14
8/16
8/18
8/20
8/22
8/24
8/26
8/28
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to configure BPDU skewing for VLAN 1 on module 8, port 2 and display the
skewing statistics:
Console> (enable) show spantree bpdu-skewing 1 8/4
Bpdu skewing statistics for vlan 1
Port
------
8/4
You will receive a similar output when MISTP is running.
The show spantree summary command displays if BPDU skew detection is enabled and also lists the
VLANs or instances that are affected in the skew. This example shows the output when using the show
spantree summary command:
Console> (enable) show spantree summary
Root switch for vlans: 1
BPDU skewing detection enabled for the bridge
BPDU skewed for vlans: 1
Portfast bpdu-guard disabled for bridge.
Portfast bpdu-filter disabled for bridge.
Uplinkfast disabled for bridge.
Backbonefast disabled for bridge.
