I am not the owner of this device, but I am in IT. We had an NI
PXI8176 suddenly start broadcasting version 2 spanning tree protocols
over the network... this is a mystery to us. Has anyone ever seen
this, or have theories why it would do this?
thanks

I'm not very familiar with spanning tree protocols, but I thought that
they were for network bridges and switches.

Have you had any viruses on that PXI-8176? Think of the PXI-8176 as a
laptop in a different form factor when troubleshooting this kind of
stuff. This sounds like an OS/virus/network issue.

Good luck.

They ARE usually used by routers and switches. The question is what
could suddenly make this device start acting like a switch? It had the
latest McAfee virus protection on it.
thanks
