MSTP/4/PROPORT_BPDU_GUARDED

Message

MSTP/4/PROPORT_BPDU_GUARDED: The MSTP process's edge port with BPDU protection enabled will be shut down, because it received a BPDU packet. (ProcessID=[ProcessID], InstanceID=[InstanceID], PortID1=[PortID1], PortID2=[PortID2], PortID3=[PortID3], PortID4=[PortID4], PortIDFlag=[PortIDFlag], PortState=[PortState], IfIndex=[IfIndex], PortName=[PortName])

Description

Specify that the edge port receives the BPDU packets when BPDU protection was enabled

Parameters

Parameter Name	Parameter Meaning
ProcessID	Indicates the MSTP process ID.
InstanceID	Indicates the instance ID.
PortID1	Indicates ID 1 of the port in the MSTP process.
PortID2	Indicates ID 2 of the port in the MSTP process.
PortID3	Indicates ID 3 of the port in the MSTP process.
PortID4	Indicates ID 4 of the port in the MSTP process.
PortIDFlag	Indicates the port flag.
PortState	Indicates the port state.
IfIndex	Indicates the interface index.
PortName	Indicates the port name.

Possible Causes

The edge port received BPDUs, and BPDU protection was enabled globally.

Procedure

1. Check whether the interface is directly connected to a user terminal and can be specified as an edge port.

If the interface is directly connected to a user terminal and therefore can be specified as an edge port, go to Step 2.
If the interface is indirectly connected to a user terminal and therefore cannot be specified as an edge port, go to Step 3.

2. Locate the source of the BPDUs on the interface and check whether the malicious attack exists.

If the malicious attack exists, go to Step 4.
If the malicious attack does not exist, go to Step 3.

3. Run the undo stp root-protection and undo shutdown commands in the interface view to delete the configuration of the edge port and restart the interface. Then, check whether the alarm is cleared. If the alarm persists, go to Step 4.

4. Collect alarm information and configuration information, and then contact technical support personnel.
