Description
The STP loop guard feature provides additional protection against STP loops. An STP loop is created when an STP blocking port in a redundant topology erroneously transitions to the forwarding state. In its operation, STP relies on continuous reception and transmission of Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) based on the port role. The designated port transmits BPDUs, and the nondesignated port receives BPDUs. When one of the ports in a physically redundant topology no longer receives BPDUs, the STP conceives that the topology is loop free. Eventually, the blocking port from the alternate or backup port becomes a designated port and moves to a forwarding state. This situation creates a loop. The loop guard feature makes additional checks. If BPDUs are not received on a nondesignated port and loop guard is enabled, that port is moved into the STP loop-inconsistent blocking state.

Who does this work

12 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-283681r1204071_chk)

Review the router configuration to verify BPDU Guard is enabled on the virtual private local area network service (VPLS) for all user-facing or untrusted access switch ports. BPDUs received will be discarded on service access ports when STP on the VPLS is administratively enabled and the administrative state of STP is disabled. To verify STP is disabled on the service access ports, use the command below and verify "Stp Admin State" is set to "Down": - show service id 10 stp Stp port info Sap/Sdp/PIP Id Oper- Port- Port- Port- Oper- Link- Active State Role State Num Edge Type Prot. 1/1/c3/10 Down N/A Discard N/A N/A Pt-pt N/A If the switch has not disabled STP for untrusted user-facing ports, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-88151r1204070_fix)

Configure the Nokia router VPLS service to disable STP for untrusted ports: - configure service vpls <service id> sap <sap id> stp shutdown
