You're right as usual. I actually happened to see a 1000baseLX port in dispute a few years ago, so you made me dig through old emails and tickets.

It was a 6500 facing a 3750, and it was because MSTP BPDUs where incorrectly tagged, probably due to CSCta17209, we fixed upgrading the 3750.

Probably UDLD wouldn't have helped either.

Thanks,
