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?



Thanks a lot,



Pierre-Alex
