Oh indeed it does. Shame on me I didn't see that in the menu.

nonforwardingreason shows a disputed BPDU condition. Now why should that
suddenly appear after the reboot of the switch? Well, is there a command to see
where exactly that BPDU is coming from? Behind that port *should* be a private
network with another switch but no more bridging back to the main network... If
there is no built-in function I guess I'll check with a network sniffer.

Thanks again
