ERPS - switch stuck in pending state

Luca_Spinacci — Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:35:00 GMT

Hello Hub Community,

I have an issue with an ERPS-based network topology composed by 4 switched.

The 4 switch are connected in a squared topology:

SW4 -- SW1

| |

SW3 -- SW2

Basically, SW1 is the RPL owner and SW2 its neighbor.

The RPL port is blocked and there are no failure conditions.

SW3 is stuck in Pending Operational state and there is no way to make it change it.

SW1, SW2, SW4 are in Idle state.

Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this?

Follows a cat&paste of the ERPS status of the ring:

#SW1: east port to SW2, west port to SW4

Very useful.

Now, my topology works fine!

Thank you very much.

Regards.
