Configure BPDU Guard on GS752TPv2?
I am attempting to set up RSTP on a GS752TPv2 switch. Something that is confusing me is BPDU Guard. It appears that it is always enabled for every port. My understanding was that you should only enable BPDU Guard for ports that are connected to end user devices. I can't actually find a way to turn in on or off.
I'm doing some test by creating a network loop. In the logs I can see that STP puts the port in a blocking state, and then BPDU Guard then puts the port in d-disabled state.
Can anyone explain what the expected behavior should be?

So do not enable Forward BPDU while STP Disabled, simple. This specifies whether spanning tree BPDUs are forwarded or not while spanning tree is disabled on the switch. This isn't a Managed Switch model. Strictly stick with the supplied documentation on the
