Hi Team,
Please be kind enough help me to clear my doubt.
We have two stacked switches connecting to a firewall and both switches are connected through single port channel. Port channel is configured as a layer two trunk.
Can anyone let me know will firewall send BPDUs to the switch and participate STP.
Thank you and Regards,
Gayan Samarakoon.

- Normally not because the firewall is not part of the layer2 domain and or usually you will access it by routing solutions

Hi Marce,
Is it advisable to configure Port fast and BPDU guard on the interfaces connecting to firewall.

Hi Marce,
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply.
Any reason, why we can not enable BPDU guard on those interfaces, Can we enable Root guard on those interfaces?
Thank you,
Dhanushka.
