I'm using NW5.1 + sp7. The SLP screws very often... clients can't log in because of SLP... and many advise me to turn off "spanning tree" and see if it makes a difference. We have a 3Com 4924 as the core and three 4400s for all the workstations. I turned off Spanning tree for all the 4400s and 4924 and all hell let loose: IP conflict... workstations couldn't ping one another and the whole network's dead.
After turning on the spanning tree on the 4924, everything returned to normal.
What the heck is this spanning tree??? Why turning this off can help SLP?
