hi All, Please tell me if I am wrong and best practices A trunk link, by default, is a member of all VLANS Would it be best practice, to place your trunk ports in a particualr VLAN, then define what you want pruned/not pruned ? Reason I ask is that I am getting the hostflapping error every now and then, which first made me believe I had a developer plugging in hubs around the place. However, now I think its a question of my design/config. Here is an example of the error on my cat-4006 gig ports which trunk to my floor switchs. Host 00:06:29:F9:75:A2 in vlan 23 is flapping between port Gi2/12 and port Gi2/11 NOTE: 2/12 go's to sw2 and 2/11 go's to sw1, which are connected to one another as you can see below I checked it out, there are no hubs any where that could do this, and I have spanning tree in place to stop the redundant links on my floor switch;s coming back into the core. Here is the config of my trunk ports on the floor switch SW1 interface GigabitEthernet0/1 description link to core switchport mode trunk no ip address ! interface GigabitEthernet0/2 description link to sw2 floor switch switchport mode trunk no ip address SW2 interface GigabitEthernet0/1 description link to core switchport mode trunk no ip address ! interface GigabitEthernet0/2 description link to sw1 floor switch switchport mode trunk no ip address
If any one can suggest anything, I would appreciate it (I am interested in the use of the bpdu-port guard, would this help here ?)
