Hi!
I am just a bit confused on how to configure STP on a port facing to my ISP.
My fear is, that the ISP could send BPDUs and so, he could change my STP-topology.
Option 1:
Disable STP on that port
--> In that case: What happens, if BPDUs are received? Will they be dropped or forwarded in any case?
Option 2:
BPDU-guard
--> Disables the whole port, if BPDUs are received, but i would prefer to only drop the BPDUs
I am using Dell N4032-Switches and Dell 55xx-Switches.
How do you handle this?
Thank you for your help
