Question (1) Is the first part of this statement correct? I have looked at the 801d paper for an answer but I am still uncertain.
"In blocking mode, an interface will receive and send BPDUs but not send and receive data traffic. " Question (2) Are blocked port considered part of the spanning tree? When I do a "show span" on switches, I do see the blocked port listed but on testing material I have seen both answers: one reference says blocked ports are part of the spanning tree another says they are not. Which one is true? Question (3) What is the difference between a BPDU and a Configuration BPDU? Is it right to say that configuration BPDUs are sent only by the root bridge and that BPDUs are fowarded by non-root bridges?
