Hi.

HP-Support suggested that we tried to disable something called the spanning=
=20
tree algorithm on the switch.   We did, and voila the problem disappeared. =
=20
The spanning tre algorithm has a very long timeout, 30 seconds.

So, for our part the problem is solved, but the timeout issue might be wort=
h=20
solving on a general basis.

Thanks for all the insightful suggestions from you people on this list.  Th=
is=20
problem might be a bit mundane and not very ia64 specific, compared to what=
=20
I've seen on this list before, so I'm sorry if this thread has wasted=20
knowlegdable peoples time.

Regards,
Roy.
