12.2(25)EWA7 bugs

[mikedelafield]

Does anyone know if there are significant bugs with IOS release 12.2(25)EWA7 and Spanning-tree protocol?

I am having problems with loops and have ruled out most other possibilites.

Thanks.

None that I know of and we have quite few 4500's with code around that same release.

Hi ,

This is very impacting bug in the release.

According to my experience, this version is to be avoided.

You may notice many problems, including SPT loops.

I recommend to upgrade.

Thanks for the reply.

it does look suspicious. I am implementing BPDU Guard anyway and LoopGuard on all the trunk ports, but also plan to upgrade the IOS in addition just to be sure.

Its a strange one as it happens infrequently and seemingly without any obvious cause.
