Hi, A disabled state is not being used. If you do no spanning-tree disable it should enable it. [URL] page 745  
I have a core of stack of 4 PowerConnect 7048 switches. There are some unacceptable delays on the network so I am cleaning up configurations and checking spanning-tree as these were configured by he previous admin. On the four active 10 GB links, the spanning-tree reports different states: two are Port Te3/2/1 EnabledState: Disabled Role: DisabledPort id: 128.167 Port Cost: 0Port Fast: No Root Protection: NoDesignated bridge Priority: 4096 Address: 5C26.0AAA.1EA6Designated port id: 0.0 Designated path cost: 0CST Regional Root: 80:00:5C:26:0A:AA:1E:A6 CST Port Cost: 0Root Guard..................................... FALSELoop Guard..................................... FALSETCN Guard...................................... FALSEAuto Portfast.................................. TRUE and two are Port Te2/2/2 EnabledState: Forwarding Role: DesignatedPort id: 128.112 Port Cost: 2000Port Fast: No Root Protection: NoDesignated bridge Priority: 4096 Address: 5C26.0AAA.1EA6Designated port id: 128.112 Designated path cost: 0CST Regional Root: 10:00:5C:26:0A:AA:1E:A6 CST Port Cost: 0Root Guard..................................... FALSELoop Guard..................................... FALSETCN Guard...................................... FALSEAuto Portfast.................................. TRUE .I would think the first indicates an issue and all should report as Forwarding and Designated. Is this correct and if so, how can this be done?  Thanks
