Leigh Anne,
I like your style and troubleshooting methodology. I think you
have honed in on the root cause of the problem (pun intended:-
) I don't have the previous day's post, but there were a few
entries that were dead culprits as to the problem. After
reviewing the snipped configs, I am now more convinced than
ever. It is a loss of connectivity issue. It is true that the
uplink ports will both need to be trunked (and only one was
shown as trunking), but that will not fully explain the STP
problem. if you looked at the 2nd post where all of the
interface stats were shown, you would have noticed that on all
of the ports that were alledged to be trunking, two of them had
duplex and speed status unknown. That is a dead ringer for
this sort of dilemma. Always hard code your duplex and speed
settings for trunks. I cannot think of a good reason not to,
and lots of good reasons against. If you check the last config
posted, you will note that the speed and duplex were not hard
coded.
HTH,
Paul Werner
