I think you might be right on this. I'm now configuring a 2948G and I see that all of my VLAN1 ports show up in 'show spantree' even if STP is disabled. If the port is in another VLAN it won't show up at all. So, STP probably wasn't even the cause the problems we were having earlier. Thanks fo

That may be true in theory, but then why would it only show VLAN1 ports in the output of "show spantree"? If that were the case I'd expect to see all ports on the switch to show up; however, only ports in the second module show up. Oh well, I've stopped worrying about it. I really wish the LAN

Our LAN people have worked on it a lot and have never found a resolution to the Dell NIC issue. I'm starting not to trust the output of the 'show spantree' command because it's showing conflicting information. In addition, there are other ports that don't show up in the output that still appear

Sounds like it is a normal condition after all. Hence, when STP is turned off, all ports will be forwarding. ""Henry D."" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > John, > > It might be just a display issue on the switch, I just checked couple of my > 6500's and for the VLAN

John, It might be just a display issue on the switch, I just checked couple of my 6500's and for the VLAN's that have the STP disabled with active ports I see the same results. I think when you plug in a laptop to any available port on the same VLAN you'll see that it doesn't go thru STP phases a

With portfast disabled how long does it take for an interface to come on line? Can you test to see if it is sending BPDUs out those interfaces? I'm wondering if in fact spanning tree is disabled but "forwarding" is just how a connected port is identified. I'm not familiar with the 2980. Is each po

Nope. We don't have a service contract on this box and this doesn't appear to be a serious issue. I'll probably end up rebooting the switch but I'd rather not since it has a few users now. That might be the only temporary fix, though. Nothing else has worked so far. Thanks, John >>> "Robert
