When BPDU ignore is enabled and the mobile port receives a BPDU, the following occurs:
• The port retains its mobile status and remains eligible for dynamic VLAN assignment.
• The port is not included in the Spanning Tree algorithm.
Note. Enabling BPDU ignore is not recommended. In specific cases where it is required, such as connect-
ing legacy networks to mobile port networks, make sure that ignoring BPDU on a mobile port will not
cause network loops to go undetected. Connectivity problems could also result if a mobile BPDU port
dynamically moves out of its configured default VLAN where it provides traffic flow to/from the network.

The following command enables mobility and BPDU ignore on port 8 of slot 3:

Spanning Tree is enabled on both the ports and their assigned VLANs) is not allowed. If mobility is
required on this type of port, enable mobility and the BPDU ignore parameter when the port is not active.

Understanding Mobile Port Properties
Dynamic assignment of mobile ports occurs without user intervention when mobile port traffic matches
VLAN criteria. When ports are dynamically assigned, however, the following configurable mobile port
properties affect how a port uses its configured default VLAN and how long it retains a VLAN port associ-

What is a Configured Default VLAN?
Every switch port, mobile or non-mobile, has a configured default VLAN. Initially, this is VLAN 1 for all
ports, but is configurable using the
