The range is from 0 to 240, in increments of 16.The default is 128.The values for interface PVST+ parameters are given in the output of the show spanning-tree pvstcommand, as previously shown.Configuring an EdgePortThe EdgePort feature enables interfaces to begin forwarding traffic approximately 30 seconds sooner.In this mode an interface forwards frames by default until it receives a BPDU that indicates that it shouldbehave otherwise; it does not go through the Learning and Listening states. The bpduguard shutdown-on-violation option causes the interface hardware to be shut down when it receives a BPDU. Whenyou only implement bpduguard, although the interface is placed in an Error Disabled state whenreceiving the BPDU, the physical interface remains up and spanning-tree drops packets in the hardwareafter a BPDU violation. BPDUs are dropped in the software after receiving the BPDU violation.This feature is the same as PortFast mode in spanning tree.CAUTION: Configure EdgePort only on links connecting to an end station. EdgePort can causeloops if you enable it on an interface connected to a network.To enable EdgePort on an interface, use the following command.• Enable EdgePort on an interface.INTERFACE modespanning-tree pvst edge-port [bpduguard | shutdown-on-violation]The EdgePort status of each interface is given in the output of the show spanning-tree pvstcommand, as previously shown.Dell Networking OS Behavior: Regarding the bpduguard shutdown-on-violation commandbehavior:• If the interface to be shut down is a port channel, all the member ports are disabled in the hardware.• When you add a physical port to a port channel already in an Error Disable state, the new memberport is also disabled in the hardware.• When you remove a physical port from a port channel in an Error Disable state, the Error Disabledstate is cleared on this physical port (the physical port is enabled in the hardware).• The reset linecard command does not clear the Error Disabled state of the port or the hardwareDisabled state. The interface continues to be disables in the hardware.• You can clear the Error Disabled state with any of the following methods:– Perform a shutdown command on the interface.– Disable the shutdown-on-violation command on the interface (the no spanning-treestp-id portfast [bpduguard | [shutdown-on-violation]] command).– Disable spanning tree on the interface (the no spanning-tree command in INTERFACE mode).– Disabling global spanning tree (the no spanning-tree command in CONFIGURATION mode).648 Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+)
