Moving equipment round on our network

[imunro01]

I've a bit of a strange situation going on her with some of our equipment.

 

We have a Motorola point to point wireless link between two of our sites. On the main site, it passes through 3 switches to get to the dish. We tried today to physically move the device onto a switch in our core cabinet, and were conseqeuently unale to access it.

 

The background on our network is:-

* It is all on one vlan, based round a mix of managed and unmanaged switches.

* The device is on a static IP

* We moved it succesfully from one switch to another in its original location.

* the problem occurred when we moved it back a couple of hops into our core cabinet

* We tried it both on a Cisco and an unmanaged switch in our core cab.

* Even a laptop with a static IP, plugged into the same Cisco switch failed to see it

* We have manually set speed and duplex in both the original location and new location

* I'm now half bald from tearing my hair out

 

Any feedback would be brill.

 

Cheers
