Supervisor Failure and UDLD

[andersi]

Hi,

We have experienced the following issue a couple of times.

Access layer switch - 6506, dual Sup32 running high availability. Has uplinks to distribution switch A from ports 5/1 and 6/1 and to dist switch B from ports 5/2 and 6/2. Uplinks are routed and are LACP Etherchannels. We run EIGRP with NSF and we also run UDLD aggressive mode.

We have noticed when we have a supervisor failure and subsequent failover on the access switch that all distribution ports connected to the access switch gets disabled with a UDLD aggressive mode error. Even from the supervisor that is not failing? Thus we are left with an isolated access switch even though it is still operational.

Has anyone else seen this. Considering turning off aggressive mode to see if this stops this problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

To display the errors reported from the diagnostic tests, the diagnostic level, and the action that the supervisor engine takes after a diagnostics test failure, use the show test command.

Hi,

I've had the same problem as you.

redundant sup fails, uplinks to the core become err-disble due to UDLD.

Only difference is that our links on the c6500 with the failed sup are not on any of the 2 sups, but on a 48 ports SFP module.

We were cut off untill UDLD recovered himself after I think 3 or 4 minutes. But nevertheless, this should not be happening.

Did you find already a solution?

tnx

Hi Dario,

I have not found a solution to this as yet, I need to complete the testing without aggressive mode on to see if that makes a difference. Will let you know the outcome once I do.
