unable to access E2810 from the core switch after firmware upgraded

[AAPP Toledo]

Hi Airwolf,

I have several switchs with untagged on uplink ports and running fine. An example...

************************************************************************************************************

SWITCH (1)
SW_Arriba_CPD012# show cdp neighbors detail

   exit

************************************************************************************************************

In both switches the uplink PORT is untagged. On Switch(1) port 24 untagged on VLAN2 and on Switch(2) port 23 untagged on the same VLAN2.... What's the problem?

SW_Arriba_CPD012# sh uptime
0279:22:34:28.67
SW_Archivo_Anexo# sh uptime
0279:22:39:23.88

Greetings....

Hi

Since STP is blocking the port I'd be surprised if it allowed traffic. Looks like there's been some change in STP calculation between the versions. This might be a result of fixes 57003 or 61650.

If you're running MSTP but haven't defined instances, I'd suggest configuring just RSTP. Then adjust the STP link and root priorities so that you know exactly which links in the network are blocked.

did you figure out a fix, this just happened to me and am looking for a reason why

[airwolf09]

no, not yet. i have been working with HP tech try to find out why but they haven't able to figure out.  I have try a bunch of their suggestion and none were working at this time.

they have a bunch of revision between 11.25 to 11.48 but none of them were released excpet 11.25 and 11.48.

[MikeMay]

wow, how long has HP been working on this issue?, this post is from 2009/2010 what is strange 11.15 and 11.25 work without issue, add 11.48 and you have a dead switch

[airwolf09]

have you open a case with them?  if not, try to open a case and so that they get more info to solve the issue.

Hi any news with this, or does the request to HP support need further info? I also upgraded a 2810 to 11.48 and the MST instances no longer see the root switches. I have double checked the configuration, all looks ok. Going back to 11.25 with the same config makes it work again as normal. MST on the 2810 running 11.48 shows every port as edge, which is not correct.

[airwolf09]

nope, they have not come up with a solution yet.
