STP looping BPDU

$

Hi

I have a problem concerning Stp.

Can a BPDU sent by a switch come back to it ?

I mean BPDU destination mac address is multicast, if a switch connected to

the BPDU sender has Multicast enabled, can the BPDU come back to the sender ?

Here is the schema:

switch A1 --------link one ---------------- switch B

       |                                                               I

       |                                                               |

switch A2 --------link two----------------------

 

STP is deactivated on switch B, but i strongly suspect switch A (which a cluster of 2 swittch A1 and A2) to send some BPDU

If switch B receive this BPDU, is there any chance that B forwards them back to switch A (link one and two are in a LACP) ?

 

I've got STP error on A due to this reception of STP frames and I don't think it is normal a switch send back a BDPU

it received on a link.

 

Thanks

Best regards.
