Dlink Switch--2 connection to Cisco Switch

Dear All,

Please find attached one of our Switch configuration. this switch has been interconnected another switches in the network.

Today morning one of the user brought a Dlink switch and connected two port to the attached switch. there was two connection were dropped in cabin from the switch. suddenly all our other switch including the attached switch were started blinking . network is tottaly collapsed...no one was able to work.

atlast we idenfied the culprit and switched of the Dlink switch.

As per my understading Spanning -tree is been configured in the swiches. why it was not blocking the other link from the Dlink switch?

Could you please check the attached configuration a and guide me to prevent such incidents in future.

Thanks

you have not attached anything to this post.
as for your situation - there is difference, between loops and rings.
spanning tree is designed to disable redundant paths (within rings)

you have a loop in your topology and you need loop detection technologies. (the same result you can get, when you connect two ports of a switch with a cable (even without additional d-link)
