Spanning tree root guard

Hi all,

I have read the artical about the root guard, it seems I am not quite understand about it.

Does root guard is configured on the switch port which is going to connect to a new switch with

spanning tree priority (e.g. 4096) . The purpose of root guard is to avoid new switch to become root bridge if existing

root bridge has priority (e.g 8192)
