BPDU Guard and Root Guard are enhancements to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) enhancements that improve the reliability of the protocol to unexpected events ad are primarily to ensure design enforcement ( integrity / security). There they must configured in specific locations in the networks.
How TRILL (and SPB) Can Reduce STP Risk and Mitigate Impact
