STP Light Status
Hi all,
Correct me if I'm wrong but I always thought that blocked STP ports were always Amber, but after playing around with STP in my home lab I've noticed that the only Amber ports that actually show are any blocked ports connecting to the Root Bridge - The blocked ports on the segments not connected to the Root Bridge should in theory be Amber as well but they're all green?? Does anyone have an explanation for this?

redgoblin,
Which model switch are you talking about?
Weird thing is, on each of the switches above, the redundant connections directly to the Root Bridge show as Amber, but the the blocked ports on Segments not connected to the Root Bridge show as Green rather than Amber.
Confused ..
show interface fa x/y switchport
There you go....
