2970

Hi,

we have a problem with our new cisco 2970(SW2).

Our topology is like this:

dslam

|

|

R1-sw1-sw2-sw3-R2

|

|R3

R3

The DSLAM and R3 are connected to sw2.

We rebooted our dslam and the dslam terminates 200 VLANS.

between the reboot we couldn't reach the Customers on gi0/5 and gi0/6. sw3 and r2 were also unreachable. In the logs was nothing written, only that gi0/25 was down and up. What could be the Problem?

I will try it with the command spanning-tree portfast trunk on the Port gi0/25, so that the UP/down event are not annonced to the spanning-tree instance, but i don't know if it will help. I haven't seen such a behavior.

We use the IOS: Version 12.2(20)SE4

Any comments are welcome.

Attached is the configuration of the Switch.

There is not enough info to start with. You say you could not reach the switch, but from where were you trying to access the switch ?

Hi,

i was behind r1 and everything behind sw2 was unreachable also the direct connected customers on sw2.

At the same time i was able to telnet so sw2 but i couldn't see any errors or log entries.

I think it has something to do with spanning-tree, but i don't know what, because there was no loop and also no wrong BPDU.

Maybe it is somthing else.

Sw3 is a extreme switch, after the reboot of our dslam, i connected to it and showed in the logs, there wasn't a interface flap nor a spanning-tree event.
