Troubleshooting

When attempting to add a new access switch to the network, the switchport on the aggregation switch is automatically disabled.

What must be done to resolve this issue?

  • A Disable spanning tree bpdu-filter at the interface level.
  • B Disable spanning tree root-guard at the interface level.
  • C Disable spanning tree loop-guard at the interface level.
  • D Disable spanning tree bpdu-guard at the interface level.
Explanation

BPDU Guard disables an interface when it receives a BPDU. A port connected to another switch receives BPDUs as part of spanning-tree operation, and the Bpdu-Error state identifies BPDU Guard as the cause. Disabling BPDU Guard on that intended switch-to-switch interface prevents the shutdown.
