GS752TPv2 - Port GigabitEthernet39 moving from Forwarding to Disabled

Hello,

 

We have these logs on multiples ports of our switches and I can't figure out what could cause this issue :

 

Switches are in a near factory default state, so RSTP is enabled. The topology is pretty simple : ISP router > SW01 > SW02. Untagged VLAN 1 on each port and one tagged VLAN on each port for TOIP.
All cables are brand new and the devices plugged into those ports are only Dell computers.

 

I don't totally understand what those logs mean. The interfaces don't seem to go down at all, and it seems like RSTP is messing things. There is no loop on the network.

 

Do you have any idea what is the issue here ?

Regards.

    Nope - on port 32 there is almost certainly a Dell switch with some STP support up and active.

      Hello 🙂

      There is no Dell switch on the network.
      This is a Dell workstation or a Dell docking station.
