guys, another question ..
in on of my sites i have clusters of 3548 switches .. At each end of the cluster i have a link to the distribution layer... i have multiple uplink to each switch (6 in cluster).. and in the middle we have set the spanning-tree cost on one interface of the uplinks to much higher than default ...(that way switch 1 -3 use distribution link 1 and switch 4-6 use distribution link 6 )..what i am finding odd is that on switches 3 and 4 (the middle of my cluster) i have to increase the cost on both switches`uplinks sometimes and others just 1 switch, other times.(to force it into blocking)... floor 1 i had to do both floor 2 just switch 3 floor 4 both floor 5 just switch 3 floor 6 just switch 3 what i dont understand is why...??? i should have to set the uplink ports from 3 to 4 to both having high costs ... why does it sometimes work with just one... any idea`s.. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
