Hi, I am still having a slight issue with a new setup of a Cisco VLAN. Here is how things are now:
We have about 60 Cisco switches (3500 series) all connected together (one after another) in a giant "ring". Every fiber port has trunking enabled for all three VLANS (1, 104, 105). On two of the switches (separated by about 20 other switches) one FastEthernet port on each switch has an "access vlan 105" setup. We also have spanning-tree disabled on every switch but one (neither of the ones with the access ports) and it does seem to be working correctly because one of the fiber ports shows "forwarding" and the other shows "blocking", which means the VLAN is going all the way around the ring (or so it seems). However, we can not get any traffic to pass. I have even installed a traffic sniffer and setup the switch at our NOC with that VLAN (105) and there is only an occasional broadcast packet. Is there any kind of a limit to the number of switches that spanning-tree or VLANs will traverse? What am I missing here?
