Hello @eldxmgw ,

Can you check the spanning tree status?

Also check same host connecting to other ports.

Thanks!

Hello and thanks for your reply.

Switching -> Spanning Tree -> Spanning Tree admin mode is disabled.

The cluster consists of 8 hosts, where every host is connected with 3x RJ-45 wires to this switch. Two data paths in one VLAN, one for IRMC management in another VLAN. So, 15 ports are covered from 8 hosts, and the behavior is the same. I'd say this answers if this happens on other ports.

Hello @eldxmgw,

Is it possible to check with 1-to-1 connection with switch and host instead of 3XRJ45?

Thanks!

Sure, did so already.

Right now i powered on 3 hosts. One connection per host to the switch. Other RJ-45 cables are disconnected. Still the same. I attached a screenshot where you can see that when .11 fails .12 is available vice versa. In this example with 3 powered hosts only .10 is the only stable option. As said before, as more hosts are powered on it wents even more worse. -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/vi02cu68vqw8atf/screenshot.png?dl=0

You mentioned the spanning tree protocol... should something like MSTP be enabled?

Hello @eldxmgw,

Is it possible to share the logs?

Yes, spanning tree something like MSTP.

STP: only supports a single instance whereas MSTP(Multiple) includes the advantages of RSTP, and supports multiple instances.

Is MSTP enabled?

Thanks!

Do you need the buffered log?

I tried to enable differend *STP protocols, but i don't see any change in stable host availability. But i have to make clear i don't really have any clue to configure *STP correctly.

Hello @eldxmgw,

Yes, I need buffer log.

Thanks!

Done via PM.

Hello @eldxmgw 

Thanks received, I will check and let you know.

Thanks!

Hello @eldxmgw,

One more question, what is the current software version in the switch?

Thanks!

I just updated last weekend IMHO to the latest version from 02.16 to 02.18 over this link: https://h10145.www1.hpe.com/downloads/SoftwareReleases.aspx?ProductNumber=JL380A&lang=&cc=&prodSeriesId=&SoftwareReleaseUId=22203&SerialNumber=&PurchaseDate=

Hello @eldxmgw,

Apologies for delayed response.

I have reviewed the log buffer and there are not much information into it which give the reason code.

Also this switch is running on latest version.

The issue needs remote/LAB intervention so I will advise you to log a case with support/

And are you using Aruba central?

Thanks!

Hello, sorry i don't use any support or similar board concerning HPE stuff than this.

I don't even know where, what and how to do it.

I just register on this community board hoping to finally get this issue fixed

Hello @eldxmgw,,

Let me give one more try, is it possible for you to share network/topology diagram?

Thanks!

Ahm, something like that doesn't exists. I don't even know how to do this right now, sorry.

Any further advice, or is this issue falling asleep now?

Hello @eldxmgw,

Is this switch part of Aruba central?

As mentioned erlier, the issue needs remote/LAB intervention so I will advise you to log a case with support by using below link:
