What does "In Transition" mean in the Time Since Change column

[jflores]

I have a flewview of Bridge Spanning Tree Information which in the column of Time Since Change shows me the legend "In Transition", do any of you know why that is?

I guess some port of your switch is receiving topology change notification. or the switch itself finds the reason for a topology change.

check the spanning tree settings in your network (timers)

Check what versions of the spanning tree are you using. I suggest using MSTP

check port errors on your ports = if you lose too many BPDUs then topology change happens.

Check the edge of your network, if the port is flapping and you do not have “edge-port” configured then it can cause the spantree reconfiguration also.

Thank you.

I think I did not specify well, so that means that the switch core is constantly changing topology. Since I had intermittencies in the network and that was what I observed differently.

In transition means = just happening now.
