Assuming that Port fast isn't enabled on any of the ports you're using or
the ports aren't in separate VLAN's I'd be surprised if Spanning tree hadn't
put one in blocking.
Separate VLAN's might be a bit of a screwy way of doing it, just have two
default gateways (one in each vlan but same subnet) and balance one half of
your dhcp scope to use one gateway and the other hald the other gateway.
See ya

Subject: Connecting Switches, hubs..
I have a simple question, and one which I cannot readily answer at this
time. Can I safely connect TWO switch ports from a Cisco 5509 (two different
switch blades) to a hub to increase the hub's crossconnection bandwidth,
without having a looping problem? The hub is actually a DEC multi-blade,
with a swithced backplane. The hub is also connect on two different blades,
but the same backplane. TIA!
btw, I have already done this and I figured if spanning tree found a looping
problem, it wouldv'e set one of the ports to a non-forwarding state..
