200-301 · Question #363

Refer to the exhibit. What is the result if Gig1/11 receives an STP BPDU?

The correct answer is D. The port goes into error-disable state. BPDU Guard feature protects the port from receiving STP BPDUs, however the port can transmit STP BPDUs. When a STP BPDU is received on a BPDU Guard enabled port, the port is shutdown and the state of the port changes to ErrDis (Error-Disable) state.
