All,
To kill this one once and for all I will answer some questions.
1.) Yes CVS will fill up because the Catalyst OS based switches save
changes like these in the configuration. You don't see this in the IOS
versions because they don't save this i the configuration.
2.) I completely agree. Which is why I have written changes to
cat5rancid so it will no longer see these changes. I will share these
changes .... well the simple ugly fix for these. I can not say they will
work on all OSes but I know for sure it runs just fine on Redhat 9 (yes
old, but it was an old server I had) and Suse 9.3 (yes old once again,
but it is my tools server. :( ). I will post this complete change on
Monday/maybe this weekend if I get time as I need to still add the
configuration option to turn it on/off. That is extremely simple but
would like to test it first, before telling people to use it.
Hopefully my simple but ugly fix will work you Dave an many more that
tend to do just like most everyone ignore the changes due to the sheer
number of "set spantree port" messages. Well at least to me these are
the noisy ones.
