Stacked S3300 not communicating through regular port
Hello, I have 2 stacked S3300 that have the default configuration except for the stack configuration, i'm using a 10G link port 49. Everything was working great. I need to make some change and I tried to connect them on a regular port instead of the stack port with a single cable. (but leaving the stack configuration as is) Everything stopped working because the regular port got blocked by STP (Discarding status). I have tried to connect 1 S3300 to another dummy switch, and it's working. I'd like to know if the fact that those switch have a stack configuration, it will trigger STP to block the link between them, even if there's not actual cable on the stack port. Is that normal ?
