Netonix Reboot Rapid Spanning Tree

[RebusCom]

We today were again bit by the RSTP reboot bug. It seems to be triggered simply by an RSTP state change where a bridge link struggles from environmental conditions (which 60GHz links are prone to) and it ends up causing Netonix switches to perform a cold POE-off reboot. Depending on where it initiates within the RSTP hierarchy, it can cascade to multiple switches on the network that are running RSTP. We had a 60GHz link struggle in a passing heavy rain shower and fail over to the 5GHz backup, briefly, then everything rebooted due to the Netonix-initiated reboot.
