What I think about it is that you have Max Age set too low - I would =
suggest at least 8 in this scenario. The disputed procedure (I hope the =
code is to 1D-2004 with the two late editorial errors fixed as per the =
Vision sim release notes, alternately see 1Q-2005MSTP code which has =
these fixes) will stop there being a loop.

  Subject: Doubt on 802.1w (max age)



  Hi,

  Setup:
       6 manageable switches are connected in linear fashion with root =
brdige
  at top . In the root bridge ,max-age ,hellotime and forward-delay is
  configured  as 6 ,1 and 4 .


  Issue :
      In the sixth bridge ,learned value of max-age,hello time and =
forward
  delay is found as 6 ,1 and 4.But the role of the port connected to
  switch 6 alone is switching between F/R (Root) and F/D (Designated )



      We r using the source forge rstp source code for all 6 switches
      From 802.1w standard,I calculated the  rcvdinfowhile timer value =
for
  the port connected to sixth switch as 1 (Calculation done from
  updtRcvdInfoWhile()) .When port of switch 6 recieves BPDU  for every
  hello time (1 sec) port role switches to F/R and on expiry of
  rcvdInfoWhile timer expiry ( 1 sec ) port role switches to F/D .

     What do you think about it ?
