datacenter access poer configuration best practices

[alessandro.dona]

Hi to all,

can any of you provide a goo d doc about configuring access port in a datacenter (spanning tree,bpdu filter etc..)

I'm facing with an access layer (two 4507) and woul like to configure the port with appropiat esettings.

Mi idea is for access port for real server:

spanning-tree portfast

bpdu guad root

bpdu filter

for trunk port for virtual servre:

spanning tree trunk portfast

bpdu guard root

bpdu filter

Ani other iedas?

Thx in advane

regards

Alessandro
