Re: 30 second delay before ping command will succeed

In a site-specific networking environment (other sites do not
experience this problem), we consistently observe a 30 second delay
from the time the networking cable is plugged into the system and the
time that the ICMP ping command will succeed.

Requests to ping the server within this 30 second period from initial
network connection will timeout.

It is an important feature of our application to dynamically
connect/disconnect from various networks.

I would think so. It sounds like SpanningTree (STP) at work.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to troubeshoot/eliminate this 30
second delay?

Why would you want to do this? 30sec. is acceptable in keeping the
network safe.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this issue.

SpanningTree protects your network from a routing loop which can bring
down the network.
