Report for BPDUGuard Enabled Ports

[bit_transporter]

Not able to find any information anywhere, so this may not be possible, but wanted to ask here in case.

Is there a type of report or API call that can be generated that show all MS250 switchports which have BPDUguard enabled?

Hi ,

Yes this can be achieved with a single call : https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api/get-organization-switch-ports-statuses-by-switch/

+ https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api/get-organization-switch-ports-by-switch/

First call you will see either Error or Warning : BPDUguard discarding packets or something like that. ( which ports are triggered by BPDUguard )

Second call you will see which ports are configured with BPDU guard.

Excellent, thank you!

At the network level in dashboard you can enable the RSTP column on the switchports page and it will show the port config. You can also download the page as a CSV if needed.

For an Org level option you can use this API endpoint https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-organization-switch-ports-by-switch/ and it will also expose the STP config of every port.

Thank you, much appreciated!

I am only seeing "Enabled" or "Forwarding" under the RSTP column in the Dashboard view. Is there a way to see if BPDUguard is turned on in a similar view? 

[Ryan_Miles]

If any guard mode is enabled it would show in that column. If the column only says enabled or forwarding it means no guard mode is configured.

Ah, makes sense. Thank you kindly for explaining!

The 2 top ports only have RSTP enabled , while the bottom port has RSTP + BPDU guard.

Thanks for the tip. I have also noticed that if the status is 'Forwarding' some have BPUDguard enabled and some do not. It does not distinguish, but only states 'Forwarding'.
