Hi there,
i have a network powered by Procurve. While going through switches log, i found the following logs....

What are these Excessive Broadcast and High Collisions? Can i get ride of these logs? It is really serious? I am using Firmware K13.25 for all the switches and MSTP configured with two instance in load balancing manner.
Even for the port showing STP off-line and online for all the switches. May be because i am not using Spanning-Tree Admin-Edge-Port for the edge ports. The reason i am not enabling Admin-Edge-Port, that what if someone make loop in the network using Edge ports.
Kindly suggest.
