It would appear that you have no link participating in spanning tree between
Cat3 and other switches.

How does "show interface trunk" look?

Subject: IPEXPERT LAB 26: STANDBY Interface on CAT3560

I have setup the required "standby interface" on the 3560 but for some
reason, the 3560 is not seeing the 3550 (switch 2) as the root. But it is
learning all the vlans via VTP and is forwarding traffic, which really
baffles me. I am running MST on the switches with switch 2 as the root and
switch 1 as the VTP server:

 

(switch 1)=====po12======(switch 2)-----------Fa0/19 (fa0/20 in
standby)------(switch 3)

 

All switches running MST and switch 1 sees switch 2 as root, but 3 don't:
