Good Morning Everyone, I'm not entirely certain which of your great suggestions solved this issue but it is now working. I changed the STP priority of my main MS425 core stack to be 0 to make it the root of the spanning tree. I also put the second uplink in place to complete the link aggregation. I have tested removing each of the uplinks and it still works as I would expect it to. Changing the STP root did change the topology map overnight to put the core stack at the root of the network so perhaps it was that that was causing the issue. Anyway it's working now so thank you all for your input on this. Chris

Ok - I haven't set any priority. I guess my MS425 stack should be the root of the tree and have the lowest priority then? The MS425 stack does the layer 3 routing.

No - stack was created before the switches where connected, All switches running current firmware and yes all switches where rebooted last night

yes - core is 2 Meraki MS425-16's, RSTP is enabled on the uplink - it is enabled on all ports by default so I've just left it alone. How would I check the priority ? can't see anything about it on the dashboard. There is nothing in the logs other than the expected port up/port down messages when the test pc was plugged in and then moved. There is a message that the port STP status changes from disabled to designated when the test pc was plugged in.

I should also say that both ends are configured as trunk ports, native VLAN 1 and all VLAN's allowed

Hi Darren, So the uplink is possibly the issue then - I have configured it as an aggregate link but because of delivery delays on the transceivers we only have 1 link actually in place. config is as follows sw1 port 51 and 52 are aggregated core sw1 port 3 and core sw2 port 3 are aggregated and both core sw are stacked (MS425 using 40Gb ports for stacking) only sw1 port 51 is connected to core sw1 port 3 Again though if it was an issue with the aggregate link then that would destroy it's usefulness for failover!

I have checked the cables and they are correctly connected to each switch

Hi, the intention is to put more uplinks in, but the issue I have is that a device connected to a switch without an uplink seems to only have 1 way communication - it can communicate outbound from the stack but neither the stack nor anything else on the network can initiate a connection to that device. This means that if we lose the uplink for a particular switch then any devices on that switch will no longer communicate correctly.

I am currently implementing a new Meraki network and we have 3 MS225 switches in a stack configuration. We have a single uplink (at the minute, more will come as we free up ports on the core switch) The uplink is connected to one of the SFP+ ports on switch 1. I connected a test pc to switch 3. I was able to initiate connections outbound from the test pc to the rest of the network but could not connect inbound. The test pc is on VLAN 2, VLAN 1 is used for management traffic and server traffic. I tried to ping the test pc from the Meraki dashboard Tools section of each switch in the stack and none of them could get a response. I moved the test pc to switch 1 (the one with the uplink) and repeated the ping tests and all 3 switches can now ping the test pc and also other systems on the network can now initiate remote connections to the test pc. I don;t have an issue putting uplinks into each switch but my understanding was that it is not strictly necessary as the stack will transfer the connection correctly. If this is not the case then surely the stacking cable is pretty pointless? How critical is the ordering of the stacking cables? The documentation says to go sw1 port 1 to sw 2 port 2, sw2 port 1 to sw3 port 2 and sw3 port 1 to sw1 port 2. I will check the cables next time I am onsite but could this behaviour be caused by the stacking cables being incorrectly routed?
