Hi,
I have an Allen Bradley Stratix 8000 which is basically a Cisco IE3000 rebadged. I have disabled spanning-tree using CNA on default VLAN 1 and VLAN 50 which are the only two VLANs on the switch. All ports on the switch have VLAN 50 assigned. When I use wireshark I am still seeing STP protocol coming from this switch. If I have STP disabled why am I seeing the protocol? The switch also still acts like STP is enabled because I can remove a device and the ports will pause briefly. This causes other devices hooked to the switch to fault from comm loss.
I understand that using smartports for portfast should help this situation but it doesnt 100% of the time. This is why we decided to remove spanning-tree.
Thanks for any help,
Jason
