I don't have enough information to understand or evaluate the information you've given about port status. Where does it come from? Are you querying the switch, or is it from one of the datastructures in spanning_tree.py, or something else? When are you printing it?
And what options are you using to run discovery and spanning_tree? -- Murphy On Jan 12, 2015, at 12:47 AM, TALAL AL-HARBI <tal...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Dear Murphy > > After the connection is established, ports status set to false expect those > who are between switches and no correcting a loop even ports where hosts > attached to. > > I have printed ports status with basic topology: > > Ports s1-eth1:1 ------> where host1 attached to > Flood False > Ports s1-eth2:2 -------> Link between S1 & S2 > Flood True > Ports s1:65534 > Ports s2-eth1:1 ------> where host2 attached to > Flood False > Ports s2-eth2:2 > Flood True > Ports s2:65534 > > In this case, why once s1 gets arp request, broadcast it out of port1? > > Best,,, > Talal > Subject: Re: [pox-dev] Spanning Tree Algorithm > From: murphy.mccau...@gmail.com > Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2015 19:28:22 -0800 > CC: amer7...@hotmail.com; pox-dev@lists.noxrepo.org > To: tal...@hotmail.com > > I believe you're mistaken and the ports to which hosts are attached have > flood enabled.
