Hi guys,
I'm trying to understand when I should use bpduguard versus bdpufilter. From
the documentation, it seems that if there's a misconfiguration, guard will
shut down the port while filter will return the port to it's default STP
configuration status by disabling portfast and resuming the listening for
bdpu's which in turn will allow STP to put the port in "Blocking" state. Is
that correct?
If that's true, then in the lab, does it matter which I use if I'm told to
configure a port such that if a device other than an end-station is attched to
it, loops are prevented? Both will work, right?
TIA, Tim
