Do I need Spanning Tree Protocol?
I have 3 stacked GSM7352S switches. Switch A is connected to B which is connected to C which is connected back to A. I suspect the answer is yes, but I am concerned that STP might be creating problem...
Are you only running the one stack of switches or do you have other switches in the network? Do you have any VLAN separation on your network?
The loop that you set with your stack is communicating with the stack protocol and does not show as a loop in your network. If you had other switches that were in the network can have a chance of looping.
There are different types of STP that are handled a little differently. (eg. RSTP) I would check to see if the OSX server will be able to hand the other STP protocols the switch supports.
