switch based fiber ring

smcghelpdesk

Level 1

I have a fiber ring using 1 3548xl, 2 3512xl, a 3508, and the gbic card for a 6509. One link in the loop is "state changed to up" for a few seconds, then down again, and repeats. Is this normal for a loop in this configuration?

Apparently the network is not stable.

Are you using UDLD? Is your STP converging again and again too? Do you see another interface bouncing as well?

Thanks.

I've posted my "sh udld" from the switch that is showing:

Interface Gi0/1

Port enable configuration setting: Follows global setting

Operational enable state: Disabled

Current bidirectional state: Unknown

Message interval: 7

Message timer: 1

Current operational state: Disabled and link down

Time out interval: 5

Time out timer: 0

Restart counter: 0

Neighbors counter: 0

Probe counter: 4

No multiple neighbors detected

Current pool id: 1

No neighbor cache information stored

Also, I'm not showing any of the other interfaces on the loop doing the "UP/Down" bounce.

Another note: This was working. About a year ago our fiber was cut, and the loop held. Could this be caused by bad GBICs? I've tested the fiber, it shows good.

I'm guessing by your post that I should see this link active all the time. Is that correct?

Thanks for looking into this with me.

post a show interface gx/x for the switch that is bouncing, post a show spanning-tree as well

I'm posting the sh int g0/1 twice, just to show the state of things in both the up and down states.

Thanks.

find your root bridge, it's mac is 00d0.021f.ac00. check its log and look at the show spanning-tree outputs.

I've attached the sh spanning-tree info because it's quite a bit different than what I get on the other switches...

VLAN0001 is associated with that mac, although we usually disable that vlan on our network. The fast ethernet ports are on vlan0004 and the administrative network is vlan0202.

The logs for that switch show nothing about the fiber ports, only various fastethers connecting and disconnecting.

Any ideas? Thanks again.
