Abstract:
An STP warm reboot system includes first switch device(s) including first switch ports, and a second switch device including second switch ports linked to respective first switch ports. During a warm reboot, the second switch device blocks designated-state second switch ports that are linked to first switch ports that have either an alternate role or a discarding state, redirects BPDUs identifying a designated peer port role and received on designated-state second switch ports from their respective linked first switch ports back to those first switch ports, and identifies topology change notification(s) received on the second switch ports. Subsequent to the warm reboot process, the second switch device reprograms the second switch ports that have experienced a state change during the warm reboot, and sends a topology change notification based on the identification of the topology state change notification received by the second switch ports during the warm reboot.

Claim (Index 7):
An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:\n a plurality of first ports; a processing system that is coupled to the plurality of first ports; and a memory system that is coupled to the processing system and that includes instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to provide a spanning tree protocol engine that is configured, during a warm reboot, to:\n block each of the plurality of first ports that have a designated state and that are linked to respective second ports that have either an alternate role or a discarding state; \n redirect, for each of the plurality of first ports that have the designated state, first protocol data units (BPDUs) that identify a designated peer port role back to their source; and \n identify, on each of the plurality of first ports, at least one topology change notification received by those first ports; and \n wherein the spanning tree protocol engine is configured, subsequent to the warm reboot, to:\n reprogram at least some of the plurality of first ports that have experienced a state change during the warm reboot; and \n send, based on identifying the at least one topology change notification received by the first ports during the warm reboot, a topology change notification on a forwarding port.
