Title: RSTP blocking
Post by: Marty on May 03, 2018, 05:57:57 AM

Hi, hoping someone might give me some guidance on setting up three DGS 1210s in a ring configuration using RSTP. 

RSTP is enabled on all three switches.
4 vlans are setup on ports 1-24 and tagged on 27 and 28.
Asymmetric VLAN is disabled
The 3 switches are interconnected on ports 27 and 28 in a ring so each switch connects to the other two.
The root switch Bridge Priority is set to 16384 to assure root election.
All other settings are default.

Issue - After a week of running both ports 27 and 28 on the root switch will go into blocking mode and disable the connection to the other two switches.  I could very well have missed something but my searches haven't turned up anything.

Thanks

It should not be doing that unless there is a new root bridge..
What is the model name and firmware version for all 3 switches?

DES-1210-28P
Firmware 4.12.016
Hardware Ver C2

All three are the same with the same configuration minus the priority setting.

Thanks,

Looks like I put this in the wrong section.  It should be in the DES not DGS.  Mabye a mod can move it?

Thanks,

Are you seeing any TX/RX errors on ports 27-28?

We will attempt to replicate this issue and report back with results. If possible, please copy me the configuration file.

Gattsu,

I haven't had a chance to turn RSTP back on since the switches are at a remote site and in production.  The TX / RX under port statistics show 1 RX error out of 10s of thousands but I'm not certain if the log retains data after it was rebooted.  I don't see a way to attach a file here in the post reply section.  I'll see if I can message it.

Thanks,
Marty

Okay, I'll private message you my email and a link to a beta firmware to test. The beta contains the latest fixes, I suggest updating to that and re-testing.

Where do you see the status "blocking"? From the GUI or CLI?

So far with your configuration and network topology, we have not been able to replicate the issue.

If you have not already try updating the firmware to a beta code, which contains the latest fixes.
