There is only one Vlan .
No multilayer switching yet .
It seems that the 6500 has to recalculate spanning tree every time you plug
a fibre in & out .
Thanks for the advice so far

How many VLANS are running thru this fabric? The easiest way to set
a
switch as the spanning tree root is the command:
set spanning tree root vlan#
I believe that's the command anyway; I need to consult my switch to
be sure,
and I'm not around it at the moment.
Why are there a lot of recalculations anyway?

Hi there
Yes , I have changed the priority to the lowest of all the switches
.
Set spanning-tree priority 30000
Then the cost is 0 for that switch .
Is there any other commands ?
Thx

The first thing I would do is to make sure that the 6509 in
the
center of
the whole network is set as the root for all VLANS. This
will help
tremendously.

Hi there gang
A question plse....
We are busy installing a sizable switch network .
Loads of 35XX and one 6509 . Gig fibres running in a star
topology
from the
6509 to the 35XX's .
On some of the floors there are redundant UTP between the
switches .
Spanning tree is on and igmp is enabled on the 6509 .
Why is there still loops & broadcast storms ? There is a
load of IPX
& IP .
Topology changes seems to bog the 6509 down .
It even froze at stages .
Some advice or pointers would be very helpful .
Please include my email in your reply .
Cheers
