u8dmtm Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Came in this morning to find quite a few locations with no network access (limited or no connectivity in XP taskbar). In some places reseting the relavent switch worked but in others it didn't work. This has only affected small 8-port switches but the bigger 24port, 48 port etc are all fine And ideas?
CyberNerd Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Could be broadcast storms, maybe the larger switches have broadcast storm protection. You should monitor the traffic with something like ethereal and look for broadcast packets.
SteveT Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Is STP turned on on large switches and not on smaller ones? If so then CyberNerd is spot on. You have something plugged into the network that is causing this problem..........or..... the infamous patch lead plugged into two outlets!! ethereal will help isolate this.
W32Jbot Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 the infamous patch lead plugged into two outlets!! Oh yes the loopback effect.
