Hi Amin,

At the interface level, you enable BPDU guard on any interface by using the
*spanning-tree bpduguard enable* interface configuration command without
also enabling the Port Fast feature. When the interface receives a BPDU, it
is put in the error-disabled state.

I "think" that with bpduguard it doesn't send BPDU's but I'm not 100%. I
don't have a lab to try things with a that mo, use debug spanningtree events
I think

With BPDUFILTER it sends a few at the very beginning and then stops.

Either way with GUARD it's going to error disable the interface if it
receives a BPDU.
