What is BPDU Filter?

Understanding BPDU Filter

BPDU Filter is a feature in network switches that prevents the device from sending or receiving Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs). BPDUs are messages used in spanning tree protocols to detect and prevent network loops. When BPDU Filter is enabled on a port, the switch effectively stops participating in spanning tree processes on that port, potentially leading to network loops and security risks.
