Hi all,
I have installed 3 APs in a wireless Mesh network (2 x Root APs and 1 x Mesh AP) at a client site. It seems that whenever my Mesh AP fails over to another parent Root AP, spanning-Tree's loopguard kicks in on the switches trunk connected to the Mesh AP for the native VLAN and CCTV VLAN (cameras are connected to the switch) . This causes a 3 minute network outage for the cameras connected every time.
Can loopgaurd even work on a Wireless Mesh setup? The Mesh Backhaul is essentially a bridge between the mesh connected switches, so I'm assuming when the switches receive BPDUs from different switches on the same trunk link, it will cause issues? I thought the Cisco Mesh had it's own inbuilt loop prevention mechanisms.
Client is running RPVST.
Any assistance would be greately appreciated!
Brett
