Caution
Ports configured with the BPDU filter mode remain active (learning and forward frames); however,
spanning-tree cannot receive or transmit BPDUs on the port. The port remains in a forwarding state,
permitting all broadcast traffic. This can create a network storm if there are any loops (that is, trunks
or redundant links) using these ports. If you suddenly have a high load, disconnect the link and
remove ("no") the bpdu-filter.
Viewing Status of BPDU Filtering
The show spanning-tree <port-list> detail command has been extended to show per-port BPDU filter
mode as shown below.
