configuration problem in 3com switches in a mixed 3com and cisco switches environment
When I did a network discovery on a subnet using 3com network supervisor (version 4), a misconfiguration report was generated stating one of the port must enable for spanning tree protocol for a connection with a workstation.
On clicking a link for further information, it stated that there was a 'fast start' problem.
The problem port is unit 3 port 26 on a '3-stacked 3com switches 4226' connnected to a cisco 3550 switch through trunking 802.1q.

I don't think any change is needed on the cisco as the problem pointed to 3com switches.
At one stage, I disconnected the cable on that port where a pc running windows os.
However the same misconfiguration report was regenerate.
I tried Steve's suggestion by enabling the port using the brower.
I tried the network discovery and the same report was generated.
