BPDU Issue on 3750 This is not a Question but an Issue I have Run into

[richard.jackson]

Hi I thought I share an issue I run into recently.

I upgraded a 3750 switch stack to 12.2.55. Once I had upgraded all the switches I had an issue with Spanning Tree on the voice VLAN; the root bridge was blocking that vlan on the trunk ports

The errors I was seeing was

%SPANTREE-2-BLOCK_PVID_PEER: Blocking GigabitEthernet2/0/26 on VLAN0172. Inconsistent peer vlan

BST: %SPANTREE-2-BLOCK_PVID_LOCAL: Blocking GigabitEthernet2/0/26 on VLAN0182. Inconsistent local vlan

VLAN 172 was the Voice VLAN

VLAN 182 was the RSPAN VLAN

The customer was arunning a RSPAN session to record the voice, I logged this with TAC and we found that when we removed the Monitor session, the spanning tree issue was restored.

TAC stated that the Monitor session was also forwarding the BPDUs into the RSPAN VLAN.

I installed a slightly earlier IOS and the issue was resolved.

As this took around 15 hours of my time on a Saturday, I thought I would share this issue with the support community in case anyone else ran into the same problem.

Regards

Richard

Thanks for the heads up.  I ran into this issue working in the lab and came to the same conclusion.  Nice to know I'm not crazy.

Hi Richard,

I did some research and I think you were hitting the following software defect: CSCtj76880

RSPAN causes port to go into BKN state due to PVID inconsistency

Please refer to the Bug Toolkit Page on the following link for more information:

http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtj76880

Will be fixed in 12.2(58)SE .
