There were some interesting explanations and scenarios offered up, and i thought id give my take on it here as it will take a few more than. To avoid this network failure scenario while running a software bridging function on an esxi host, the portfast and bpdu guard configuration must be disabled on the port and spanning tree protocol. When the filtering is enabled globally, this is a safety mechanism so that when a bpdu is received on a port where the global filtering was enabled, the switch knows there must be another switch on the other side.

Stp vs loopdetect clarification hi, if you have a startopology, with all edges having baggs to the core, the advantage of stacking, or at least partially stacking, your core is that each edge could have be bagged into 2 different units in a corestack, and you would not loose that edge if a single coreunit breaks.
The most common example is with an ipphone with two ports one for switch one for pc. Bpdufilter on the other hand just filters bpdus in both directions, which effectively disables stp on the port. Making a loop will mean that the already existent port on the switch will move from forwarding disabled considering that new port is l2 and stp enabled.

If any changes occur in the layer 2 network, such as when a link goes down, a new link is added, a new switch is added, or a switch fails, the switches share this information by transmitting bpdus, causing the stp algorithm to be reexecuted, and a new loopfree topology is then created.
