Locating unauthorized, unmanaged hubs?

[Preston Gallwas]

27 locations are 1 IP subnet per location, (elementary schools and support sites)

6 of them have 2 IP subnets

Our high schools have between 4 and 8 subnets...


What do you mean by flat network? We're Hub-n-spoke here...

CISCO7000 --WAN -->Cisco2600-->HP ProCurve 2600 series stack

Is generally the setup for all sites

[rick jones]

one flat network would be one broadcast domain - i was guessing at that since you were asserting that enabling STP was a problem because of the number of sites involved. since STP would not cross routers, the only way the number of sites could be an issue were if you were trying to run a flat network.

so on the surface at least it would seem that enabling STP wouldn't be that big a deal?

[Preston Gallwas]

No...unless it breaks some sort of novell login...again, I believe RSTP is the fix for this.

Is implementation pretty straightforward?

Are KNOWN uplink ports the only ones we need identify? is there a way to automatically identify?

[rick jones]

this may be getting a bit beyond the scope ofthe thread - ifyou want to switch to email - rick.jones2@hp.com.

anyway, i was meaning to ask about that STP broke novell login bit - do you have details of exactly how novell login cared about spanning tree?
