Wired Intelligent Edge

Good morning everyone! A pleasure to greet you.
 
I currently have a 7205 Controller (version 6.4.3) to an HPE 5400 Switch (version K.15.16.0006), optical ports (10GE), Trunk (L2), allowing only specific VLANs.
 
You only have one link between the Controller and the Switch. The default configuration is left on the Controller, ie the port with STP enabled (point-to-point). SWP (Provision) has STP (RSTP) enabled.
 
However the STP blocks the port where the Controller is connected and boots all the traffic. In order to restore it, a CLI reload is performed to the Controller.
 
Measures taken:
1. Disable the STP for the port on the Controller
2. In the SW, the port was instructed to stop sending and receiving BPDU (spanning-tree ethernet a1 bpdu-filter).
 
In that scenario, the incident was repeated.
 
3. STP was enabled on both computers, certifying that it was point-to-point in both end.
 
And the problem persists.
 
I appreciate your comments.

STP should be disabled globally on the controller to allow the HP switch to do loop detection.

No spanning-tree

I have disabled STP globally, I will have it in monitoring.

 

I'll let you know how it goes in the next few days.

 

Thanks Collin

Hi Collin

The problem still persists.

I have detected in the log of the Switch that the STP blocked the port, yesterday.

Hi Collin

 

I still continue with STP problems. 

 

The controller is globally disabled and in the port. 

 

In the SW-HPE-5400, the AUTO-EDGE-PORT was disabled and the ADMIN-EDGE-PORT was enabled.

Did you try to connect that AP directly to the switch port?

 

we had the same issue, we were able to determine it happened due to the "BAD CABLE". when we connected directly on the Switch port we were able to get them up and running.

 

Thanks,
