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?

What makes you think this isn't the case? -- Murphy On Jan 9, 2015, at 7:21 PM, TALAL AL-HARBI <tal...@hotmail.com> wrote:If you print out ports status, you would see they are false.

After detecting all links, it disables the one creating the loop. However, ports where hosts attached to are still False(Means no flood?). Pings were successful, how ? Thank you!!! Cheers,,, Talal
