In addition, The root guard ensures that the port on which root guard is enabled is the designated port. Normally, root bridge ports are all designated ports, unless two or more ports of the root bridge are connected together. If the bridge receives superior STP Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) on a root guard-enabled port, root guard moves this port to a root-inconsistent STP state. This root-inconsistent state is effectively equal to a listening state. No traffic is forwarded across this port. In this way, the root guard enforces the position of the root bridge.
 
This message appears after root guard blocks a port:

        %SPANTREE-2-ROOTGUARDBLOCK: Port 1/1 tried to become non-designated in VLAN 77.
        Moved to root-inconsistent state

Can some one verify please, I guess bpdu-filter will silently drop bpdu pkts
if confgured on interface not globally.
BPDU-guard will put interface in err-disable mode if configured globbally.
