BPDU guard on Nexus 2k

Is there a way by which BPDU guard can be disabled on N2K?

Does N2K support normal trunking with downstream switch?

All the documentation that I have gone through mentions that you cannot disable BPDUguard on fex ports, it is enabled by default.

FEX will not allow you to connect a switch to it with trunking enabled.

We have a requirement where they want to connect switch to N2K.

What is the best practice while connecting a switch to N2K?

BPDU, on all the Nexus parent switches (5K, 7K) are PERMANENTLY enabled.  No one will be able to disable BPDU Guard on the Nexus.

If you want to connect another non-Nexus switch to a 2K, you will need to disable STP on that switchport.

Thanks for your response Leo.

Yes indeed, all available documentation mentions the same.
