I think there are quite reasonable arguments to be made for not
enabling STP negotiations on ports that don't need it (ie, enable STP
only on an individual port basis). If the device connected to a port
can talk STP (a Linux box?) and take part in the negotiations as a
rogue, can't it create havoc in an otherwise perfectly tuned network
leading to a DoS?
