if I just connect two similar port say both 10 gb of one switch to another symmetric bridge with stp enabled on both bridge , stpstate of all four ports always remain forwarding. ( may be because all four of them are either root or desginated port in above setup) should I except that one port atleast will get into blocking state , if i connect two non-similar ports together say a 10gb port on one switch to FE port on another switch as now path-cost to root will differ. ( as path-cost depending on link speed ) Best Regards, Ashish Anand -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
