We're still having problems with the topology not updating.
Is this related to the way we handle linkdown status messages? Should they be cleared or acknowledged when the topology has changed?
Maybe. The topology detector will not update topology information for ports that are operDown - the assumption being that operDown is a temporary error situation. If, however you shutdown the port (admDown), topology will be updated - this is taken as a signal that the down state was deliberate.
