Hi

I have got 2 switches in 2 different buildings connected via a laser link which connects to both switches on a point to point link.I run spanning tree over the link as if it were one network.A bridge if you like.I have also got a wireless Lan access point at the one building and a client bridge at the other building.The 2 devices are also conencted to the 2 switches.The problem I am having is that the wirless needs to be used a fast rapid spanning tree backup in case the laser link fails.I have configured both switches with spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst.The one switch is the the root bridge.When i shut the laser link down to test my wirless backup with rapid spanning tree it does not seem to work although on the switch I can ping the wirless bridge and access point.I just cant ping any device or the switch on the other side......

I got this all to work in a test environment without any other devices connected to the switches,but now that I have got it all on the live network it does not want to use the alternative path down the wirless when I bring the laser down.The wirless has a cost of 100 and the laser has a cost of 19.Am I missing something out in my configuration.

My config os the root bridge switch is below....The other switch is the same besides the ip address and priority.I have also attache the show spanning tree command.Any help or guidance will be much appreciated.

spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst

no spanning-tree optimize bpdu transmission

Most probably you are running into SPT problem. Have a look of the following links for troubleshooting

Hi,

What does show spanning-tree int mod/port on the non-root switch say? It should be in blk state when the laser link is up ... and, go from blk to fwd when the laser link fails.

Also, check the show interface mod/port on both ends and make sure that the laser link is in down/down state.
