INTERFACE
In FTOS versions prior to 7.6.1.0, the command no spanning tree disables Spanning Tree on the interface,
however, BPDUs are still forwarded to the RPM, where they are dropped. Beginning in FTOS version 7.6.1.0,
the command no spanning tree disables Spanning Tree on the interface, and incoming BPDUs are dropped at
the line card instead of at the RPM, which frees processing resources. This behavior is called Layer 2 BPDU
filtering and is available for STP, RSTP, PVST+, and MSTP.
