[c-nsp] quick spanning tree question

2010-03-27 Thread Cord MacLeod
3 days ago traffic started showing up on the trunk port connecting my top of rack switches. Each of these switches has it's own better trunk path to the root bridge. I can't see why any traffic at all would traverse these links unless the other trunk on g0/45 was down, which it isn't. Also,

Unless the other side of Gi0/46 is blocked, i don't think it's an issue to see traffic on a designated port. On the other hand, if this switch has dual uplinks to the pri/sec root switches, then somewhere else there must be a blocked port. -- Tassos Cord MacLeod wrote on 27/03/2010 08:47: 3

Cord, You are not providing enough details to help you troubleshoot the issue.With the information you have provided is unfortunately not enough. We can only make assumptions at this point. How many switches are involved in this STP Domain, what is the status of all links to the Root Bridge.

PfR takes care of the rerouting on a site basis. The site is monitoring reachability to a particular prefix. The key issue with a single cloud, is that you don't control the end to end path. If it is two clouds then you can monitor end to end via each cloud, and choose which one is better to use

I have a pair of 7200s at two locations with a 155mbit radio link between them. We're hooking up PA-POS across this and I am wondering how to best bridge across the link. Yes, I have to bridge. I've looked at it every which way, we're replacing a metro fiber transport for another provider so

I believe the feature that should match your requirement are 1. To counter IOS deficiency where BGP is not event-driven, use BGP Selective Address Tracking - introduce in 12.4(4)T, 12.2(33)SRB http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_4t/ip_route/configuration/guide/brbadv.html 2. To install backup
