Hi
I have 2 x SXT’s connected to a 100Mbit dumb switch, they have different SSID & Security so cannot ever bind via the wireless to each other.
One of the devices will continually disable the Ethernet port, if i move it to another switch connected to the dumb switch the problem stops.
Have tried numerous combinations of STP or no STP on the SXT bridge configuration and have had no luck.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Are both connected to a network or networks being in the same broadcast domain?
Have you loaded a backup from one to the other? Check for same MAC addresses being on both…
They are and yes i have.
Thanks.
If both connect to different spots of the same network you’re creating a loop in L2 and STP is doing its duty.
Think on SXTs as cables. You’re connecting the same network with two cables…
You should cut L2 continuity on one of them and leave only L3 connectivity.
What do you need to do or are you trying to achieve?
The location is being used as a repeater, service comes in n a SXT, through the switch and out.
I have since reset the devices as suspect the MAC address was doubled up from a config restore.
That could be the reason…
I have since reset the devices and re-configured them all from scratch based on the fact that there was a MAC conflict.
All is working correctly now.
thanks all for your assistance.
