Hi all,
Does BPDU is sent from root bridge to access switch. If so, what is the command I can see access switch is receiving BPDU.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
here is where you see the in/out BPDU count.
Notice that this is the interface looking to the root bridge and that's why the in count is high and there is barely no sent BPDUs which is normal

Hi, Acbenny,
I guess BPDU package is sent NOT only from root bridge, it was sent from all the switches witch connected within the same network. the purpose of the PBDU packege is to exchange STP information, such as BID, MAC, Vlan information and STP mode.
hope this help.
