Hopefully this will ring a bell with someone that has "been there done that" and can save me a road trip with a sniffer...
We recently added a few HP ProCurve switches (2810s) at the access layer using simple trunks back to our existing Ciscos (2950/2960/3550/3560s). All is well with the exception that our network monitoring is turning up discards on the trunks (roughly every 10 seconds). I've tried disabling all of the negotiations that I can think of, e.g.,: > interface GigabitEthernet0/1 > description FLT-Uplink-2 > switchport mode trunk > switchport nonegotiate > no cdp enable > end but the discards continue. Also getting a *lot* of noisy spanning tree traffic seen on the Cisco side: > Protocol Path Pkts In Chars In Pkts Out Chars Out > > Spanning Tree Process 17447867 1099182989 3219 204892 Ciscos are trunning default PVST, HPs are doing whatever they do out of the box. Not sure if this is an issue or just brain-dead old Catalyst "show int switching" counter bug :-) Things seem to be working, but then there isn't much traffic in this building. It just doesn't "look" right. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks...
