Good day to All
I have a problem in my network with an old device with a 10mbit half duplex nic - we have Powerconnect N3048 switches in the rack - we found that they don't play well with the old device, so we added an older switch 1000/100 to do the translation so to speak.
The problem now is that STP was not configured at the time and the older switch has taken the role of routing bridge.
My question is - if I now configure the N3048's to be the route bridge, will I be able to do it without affecting the production network traffic, or will I need to down the network to do the change? Will the change to the N3048's force the older switch to relinquish control or will they fight?
Many thanks in advance
Eric
