spanning tree on 2960s

I have  2 2960s and they have 2 links connect to each other. I checked spanning tree and they both in the forwarding state. Shouldn't one be blocked? Thanks

If you look at both switches and the both show both ports in forwarding state, then you most likely have them configured in a Etherchannel.

When you do this logically you have one port even though you really have multiple physical ports.

I see. I looked on the other switch and it is indeed blocked and I think this is a mistake because we want to use both links to maximize the throughput. I will need to configure etherchannel on my switch stack. Thx

Is  src-dst-ip or  src-dst-port better?
