  • 1.  STP root flapping on HP E-3800 Switches

    Posted Feb 29, 2016 11:25 PM

    Hello every1

    Have two switches HP E-3800 (J-9575A) with each other, experiencing continuos root flapping., even after changing the priority.

    SW-1 - Priority 0

    SW-2 Priority 4096

    Output only shows log events, what are switch configs, and which ports are interconnecting them.

    It seems like there's a VLAN mismatch on current link. Best practice is not using default VLAN1 for client/server devices, but allow VLAN1 UNTAGGED on thr link between switches.  Vlan1 is used by spanning tree

    Which port(s) are connected between the switches?  I hope these aren't ports 7<->7  or 9<->9

    I though STP was VLAN unaware but yes it is preferred if VLAN1 is untagged.

    Which link is causing the root change, port 1?

    Did you have a look at the spanning tree troubleshooting  document: http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03396721 .
