Hello dear Cisco Admins,

I would like to know if the use of storm-control makes BPDU-Guard of the same interface useless or if it is still recommended to use it?

Thanks you for your help

it different 
BPDU guard detect ONLY bpdu frame and err-disable if there is
storm-control detect all data frame (multi and broadcast) and if it above specific threshold the port is block.

I.e. you can use both in one port

Thanks

Hello @jeff9870,

Using both storm control and BPDU-Guard on the same interface can still be beneficial, as they address different aspects of network management and security.

Storm control can help prevent network storms and congestion, which could be caused by legitimate traffic patterns or even malicious activities. BPDU-Guard, on the other hand, protects against potential misconfigurations or unauthorized switches that could lead to network loops.
