Just wanted to put this out there in case anyone has ever seen it. I have a dual core configuration with N7 chassis. This was set up so that the edge switches each had a fiber plugged into each core. I'm working on dropping out this second core and as a result I'm dropping the second connection. For the most part this has went without incident, but I have a couple of these where the port they are plugged into on the core I'm keeping is set to dormant and spantree is blocking. So essentially when I disconnect the edge for the second core the switch goes down. I've tried everything I can think of to get the ports to come off dormant and forward traffic but it does not matter. Even plugging into another port on these two vlans( there are only two that are affected) will set that port as blocking. I've looked at the edge sw2ithces and do not see anything that should be causing this. I've also looked to make sure I did not have a loop on the edge switches.
I've got a call into GTAC right now, but I was just wonder if any one else had ever seen anything like this and could get me a clue or tell me how to force the ports to start forwarding traffic.
