I think I know what might have happened, but it's hard to reproduce without seeing the entire setup. I think your VTP server was trying to update clients on an STP blocking port. During your reboot, there could have been a temporary situation when the STP topology was temporarily different (switches not booting at the same time) and that actually fixed the issue for everyone, even if STP reconverged to the original topology.
MD5 errors were probably clients trying to update each other. -- Marko Milivojevic - CCIE #18427 (SP R&S) Senior CCIE Instructor - IPexpert On Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 5:54 PM, George Leslie <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all,This I did.
