The set protocols spanning-tree stp interface tcn-guard command configures TCN (Topology Change Notification) guard on a physical port or a LAG port for STP mode.

Command Syntax

set protocols spanning-tree stp interface <interface-name> tcn-guard <true | false>

Parameter

Parameter

Description

interface <interface-name>

Specifies a port name. The value is a string that can be set to a physical port name or a LAG port.

tcn-guard <true | false>

Enables or disables TCN-guard on a port. The value could be true or false.

true: enables TCN-guard.
false: disables TCN-guard.

By default, TCN-guard is disabled.

Usage Guidelines

TCN BPDU is generated when the switch detects a change in the spanning tree topology. If the switch receives many TCN BPDUs in a short period of time, the spanning tree recalculates frequently, causing a large burden on the device and affecting the stability of the network.

After the TCN guard function is enabled, the switch processes only a certain number of topology change packets in a certain period.

Example

Enable TCN guard on the port ge-1/1/1 for STP mode.
