[K12OSN] Doing the Pivot Root - befuddling

[Mark Gumprecht]

Same here, I just put in two dell 2724 gig switches. Had the same issue. 
I have a weak theory though, I think it has something to do with the 
managed portion of the switch. I did a hard reset to one of the switches 
and now it works. I tried to apply the same process to the other switch, 
it still didn't work. Thanks for the tip on the amer.com gig switches, I 
have A P.O. in hand to order some.... guess I'll re-think this one.
