Topology change from a portfast interface

[Tauer Drumond]

Hi all,

Recently, I had a topology change in my network enviroment comming from a switchport access port.
This port is configured with spanning-tree portfast command.

I assume that a switch never generates a TCN when a port configured for portfast goes up or down.

Switch says: Number of topology changes 212 last change occurred 07:37:33 ago from GigabitEthernet0/33

My switch port:

interface GigabitEthernet0/33

switchport access vlan 18

switchport mode access

srr-queue bandwidth share 10 10 60 20

srr-queue bandwidth shape  10  0  0  0

queue-set 2

mls qos trust cos

no snmp trap link-status

auto qos voip trust

spanning-tree portfast

Is that a normal behavior? What can be a possible issue?

Thank you

Hi,

you're correct a Portfast port will not send any TCN but did you verify you port is indeed in Portfast mode ?

Show spanning-tree interface g0/33 will tell you so.

Hi,

the correct syntax was sh spanning-tree interface g0/33 portfast.

Sorry for the error.

Hi there,

disable the DTP with switchport none and let me know pls. Hardcode the speed and the duplex mode too.

Take Care
