This only applies if they're using the Spanning Tree Protocol option (otherwise there's no reason I'm aware of that making a switch change would cause the problem to disappear, unfortunately). set spantree portfast M/P enable where M is the module and P is the port. http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat5000/rel_5_2/config/stp_enha.htm#32976 The switch will display a significant caution statement when the command is issued, but it should only apply if you're attaching a switch or some device that talks to the network like it's a switch (I think we have some hosts like that, 802.1q aware load balancers). _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
