Add VLAN to trunk causes switch to drop

Terren_Crider — Wed, 05 Apr 2017 01:06:00 GMT

Hi all, I've got two switches separated by about 7 miles of fiber and an Internet link at each site. I need a certain number of VLANs to extend between the sites for HA purposes. VLANs: tagged 243, 923-925, 927, 1000, untagged 4040 All of these VLANs span the trunk no problem except for 927. When I apply 927 the distant switch drops. When I remove 927, it comes back. Spantree is applied and enabled at the HA site, but not the main site. Where do I need to look to solve this problem?

Hello Terren,

Would you elaborate on the switch drops? Do you lose communication through ALL the VLANs once 927 is added?

Yeah. The switch basically drops from the network.

What is in the logs of both switches?

This is a snippet of the logs from the HA site switch. The primary site switch does not show any related logs.

RE: Add VLAN to trunk causes switch to drop

Do you have spangaurd on or adminedge turned on? Also, what hardware and code are you running at each site? Also, what version. Take a look at this, depending on what you are running.

Adminedge and spanguard are both off. Primary site is an S4 running 08.32.02.0009. HA site is a K10 with 08.41.01.0004.

When you run the command show spantree debug port *.*.* active

send a screen shot.. look for a high number of tx bpdu's

Also, read this:

RE: Add VLAN to trunk causes switch to drop

Jeremy_Gibbs — Wed, 05 Apr 2017 02:10:00 GMT

Also, another good command is, show spantree stats active

See if there is anything being blocked already etc...

We may be barking up the wrong spantree here. It doesn't make much sense to me why 927 has problems, but the other six VLANs are fine.

I administratively set the second interface on the HA site switch to disable. Then I applied 927 to the trunk to the main interface with the same result. I feel like this isn't necessarily a spantree problem (it still could be). Here's the log buffer for the event: <165>Apr 4 15:36:11 10.40.40.253 LinkTrap[11]Interface tg.11.2 is Down.

Does this number keep going up:

Disputed BPDU Count - 2209

RE: Add VLAN to trunk causes switch to drop

2296 this morning.

Update: one of the MACs that was in the Multiple BPDU message belongs to an Avaya device. Compass shows me that MAC on the uplink port between the main site switch and another switch with the Address Type MAC and Filter ID 927. Also, this MAC is on tg.11.3 of the HA site switch with the Address Type BPDU, Filter ID 927, and VLAN ID 927.

RE: Add VLAN to trunk causes switch to drop

Jeremy_Gibbs — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 18:08:00 GMT

How do you have STP configured on that Avaya device? Is it running STP or is it broadcasting out BPDUs of its own with itself labeled as the root bridge?

I am suspecting it is some weird STP config on a device.

RE: Add VLAN to trunk causes switch to drop

Terren_Crider — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 18:08:00 GMT

I've opened a GTAC case. The Avaya MAC is only showing up on one uplink interface and a disabled port with nothing connected.

Weird.. do share the results!
