The subject should be renamed Amazing Answers... Whether a port is blocking or not, or even if Spanning Tree is running on the device, has absolutely no bearing on whether the port is physically up or down.
The rest of the info is acceptable, but to throw that little nugget of "information" in the reply skews the whole thing.

The whole point of STP is acomplished" But this is not right, my ports are "up/up", but one of them is in forwarding state and the other in blocking :) :) I expected to see both ports in blocking, not one in forwarding and the other in blocking! **Please support GroupStudy by purchasing from the GroupStudy Store: http://shop.groupstudy.com FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html **Please support GroupStudy by purchasing from the GroupStudy Store: http://shop.groupstudy.com FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=74653&t=74594 -------------------------------------------------- **Please support GroupStudy by purchasing from the GroupStudy Store: http://shop.groupstudy.com FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html
