Hi
I am trying to implement redundancy between two sites using LAN-EXTENSION from two different Service Providers.The following is the configuration and I want FAILOVER to happen automatically WITH TWO LINKS PLUGGED IN ALL THE TIME .
When I plugin both the links I am not able to connect to SITE A from
SITE B or Vice Versa with the following configuration.IF I SHUTDOWN BACKUP LINK or PRIMARY LINK on SITE B everything is working.Please Advise.Right now I have shutdown interface FastEthernet0/48 on 3550-SITE B and everything seems to be good but I want this interface FastEthernet0/48 on 3550-SITE B to be UNSHUT AND STILL EVERYTHING SHOULD BE WORKING
4006-SITE A#

Hello,
add switcport mode access on C3550 ports to service providers links.
if there are service providers switches in the middle another question is the different vlan id at the two sites.
with a single link enabled try to understand what happens at STP level
do
sh spanning-tree interface fas2/43
Hope to help

OK.I have only Primary up and backup down and here is the output of
4006-01#sh spanning-tree int fa2/43

Not all service provides allow VLAN tagging across their ethernet links. Check with them to make sure.

Hello James,
yes but original poster's ports are configured as access ports on one side.
I've suggested to enforce mode access also on other side on both ports.
CCDE:
do a sh spanning-tree detail and get information about fas2/43
you should check if STP BPDUs have been received.
the port is in designated state. but this could mean no STP peer is there (but we see STP peer).
I would do the following test:
use an access-port in siteB without STP portfast and causes a change of state of that port.
then check again BPDU counters on fast port.
it should increment by 1 if TCN BPDU travels to you.
Hope to help
