A strange packet loss in a switching environment.

I have a switching environment with four switches as the diagram showing below.  SW1 and SW2 are two Cisco 6509-E switches, SW3 and SW4 are two Cisco 4848E switches, Host 1 and Host 2 are Solaris servers.
The original issue reported was that the SSH session between two servers were not be able to established.  Tcpdump result on the servers indicated there was packet loss in the network.  Instead of randomly lost some of the packets, only specific packets were lost in the network.
When running ssh server on Host2 and running ssh client on Host1, the Diff-Hellman Key Exchange Reply packet from Host2 to Host1 was lost.
When running ssh server on Host1 and running ssh client on Host2, the Diff-Hellman GEX Init pakcet from Host2 to Host1 was lost.
There are no ACL configured on the switch interfaces.
The packet loss seems targeted for Diff-Hellman related packets, which is really weird.  Does any one know why it happened?

I work with the individual reporting this issue and turns out a bad line card on the 6509-E where these 4948e access switches trunk to is the ultimate root cause.  I don't believe there were any syslog or other indicators of the failure and it was semi-masked by the fallout being dependent on where the VLAN roots were homed so it wasn't consistent.  Ultimately when the VLAN roots were reviewed in-depth, it did make complete sense on the impact being seen on just some access switches and ports and not others.
I believe I've written up all the pertinent facts here or perhaps left a few out and they will be filled in or corrected later.

  • Strange packet loss issue

    Hi all,
    I am having a strange issue with my macbookpro recently. Here is the situation.
    I have the TP-LINK wireless router both at home and work. IP address of this unit is 192.168.3.1 at home.
    Recently i noticed a very high level of packet loss (60-70%) from my macbook pro when i pinged the default GW wireless router. I first thought its a wireless issue and tried debuging the issue from that end. I used my brother's macbook and he wasnt having this packet loss when i pinged from his terminal.
    I then very randomly connected to my remote VPN server and noticed that the packetloss has disappeared when the VPN is connected and ping a remote IP such as 8.8.8.8.
    Now i have two terminals running, one with a normal ping to 8.8.8.8 which goes via VPN and has 0% packet loss. Another terminal running a ping via interface en1 outside of the VPN interface using "ping -S 192.168.3.102 192.168.3.1" and this terminal is showing the same 60% packet loss.
    Also strangely, this issue is only noticed at home router and not at work. At work the normal connection without VPN works fine.
    I am at loss for ideas what could be causing this issue all of the sudden when the same settings were fine for over a year.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    No solutions yet... I doubt this is a hardware matter as the packet loss goes away almost instantly when i switch on the VPN or simply move to other networks... The strangest thing is the VPN connection that solves the packet loss.. One thinks if VPN is overlaying on en1 to make its connection, how come the packetloss ceases to exist once there is a peer2peer connecton active to the same interface with the packet loss issue. Very strange indeed.
    I thought also this could only be a ICMP issue (ping protocol) however ever the browsing slows down when im normally connected to this network.
    In some awkward way im happy someone else is reporting this as I thought this is a weird enough problem for no one to comment on for yearly 10 days...
    Im going to run a tcpdump to see if there is anything strange moving abount on my interfaces whilst there is a packet loss... will inform if any interesting results appeared...

  • Packet loss when pinging from/to a cisco 3560e switch

    I see Packet loss when pinging from/to a cisco 3560e switch. CPU utilization is normal.
    Switches are running with IOS c3560e-universalk9-mz.122-35.SE5.bin.
    Packet loss is observed for all the devices irrespective of directly connected or remote devices.
    If i do self pinging, there are no packet loss.
    I don't see any error on interface.
    Can anyone please help me in resolving this issue.

  • WIFI Packet Loss/Jitter MacBook Air 11 & LION OSX 10.7.1

    I started using computers more than 30 years ago when I was 5, I had my first IBM PC at the age of 10 and have never had any interest in paying over the odds for an Apple mac mainly because I saw the Mac as a kind of "Can't open nothing", one mouse buttoned retard of the computer world.
    That is, until now.
    I set up an online business 3 years ago and rented a dedicated server and set the whole business up in a cloud, so to speak. Having done that, all I needed a laptop for was a remote desktop connection and to run a SIP phone (Internet phone).
    My PC based laptops had almost nothing installed on them, and I wasn't using software on the laptop itself, I was using remote desktop, so - why not try a MAC? The new Macbook Air 11 is small, light and made of metal and glass so should be robust enough to travel with me.
    I have to say, this was the worst move I've ever made.
    I opened the new shiny macbook and the first thing I noticed was that the internet seemed hit and miss. Moving around the room I managed to find a spot whereby pages woud load quickly. Strange, my £200 acer laptop was sh.t fast everywhere in the house. No matter, I packed it back away and carried on working on the Windows machine.
    I've come to Newquay this week, and i've started to try and use the Macbook again in a hotel. The wireless signal in the room is low, and speedtest shows about 1 meg down and 3/4 meg up. That may sound bad to you, but remote desktop uses about 5k/sec (modem dial up speed) and the softphone, well, my Asterisk VOIP setup is confugured to use the GSM codec so that's 8k/sec each way + overheads.
    This whole setup was deliberately designed to be "thin" so I can travel with ease and work on bad connections like USB internet sticks.
    Anyhow, the Macbook was unable to hold a stable connection to the remote desktop or SIP phone, even though the speed test showed a whopping 1 meg up and down. What you may not be aware of is that there is more to a connection than the speed, there is the quality as well. How many packets are lost / how much "jitter" is on the line.
    Anyhow, we're not living in the 3rd world, I ran a PINGTEST and it showed a small amount of jitter but told me the line was class B, online games may suffer but voip should be fine.
    I unpacked the Acer, placed it in exactly the same spot as the Apple had sat in and it worked beautifully with 1 bar of wireless signal, all day long. Phone calls were clear.
    So you know now what I'm thinking. I'm sitting here with my £200 acer because I can't use the £1500 macbook air 11. I paid nearly sixteen hundred pounds for this piece of .... and it doesn't ...... work. Time to contact Apple support.
    2nd Mistake!
    Representitive 1: - Told me that I can't compare the Macbook Air to the Acer, the Acer has Google Chrome and everybody knows Google Chrome is the fastest browser. I was told there was nothing more he could do, its probably a bad line at the hotel. When I explained the Acer works fine for voip I was told well, maybe it is getting a better signal. I explained the Acer has the cheapest possible parts inside it and paid 1500 for this macbook, expecting it to have quality parts inside and was told I'd paid for the size, because its so small but its not considered "powerful". Apple do you train your staff? Clearly not.
    Thank god I wasn't paying to talk to this moron.
    Representitive 2: - Had no idea what packet loss or Jitter was, got me to do a speedtest and said that looks fine. Then he got me to remove the WIFI adapter and re add it in the network settings.
    Guess what, nothing changed, its still the same hardware and software.
    Representitive 3: - Still not really understanding "quality" issues with the networking interface, I was asked to install the latest Java client. I did it, only because I wanted to comply with Apples wishes so they'd help me, but they weren't helping and Java has nothing to do with the network adapter, so that was useless advice too.
    Apple seem to have no idea there is a problem, even though Google has pages and pages of people saying the same as me, and their own discussion forums have thousands of people complaining https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664670?start=0&tstart=0
    Finally, late yesterday whilst speaking to d.ck head number 3 at Apple support, we found a forum post talking about a fix, 10.7.1 update. I told d. head number 3 about the update and he suggested I applied it. So I did and everything looked great, for a whole evening.
    This morning, I switched on again and the same thing, slow remote desktop, choppy unusable phone. Remember the phone needs less than 20k for a conversation, thats 0.2 meg. Speedtest again showing a whole meg both ways.
    I called apple support again, this time being a little forceful, and I've asked for this to be escalated, but the bottom line is - they have no fix, they don't aknowledge this as a problem and I was told LION is new, so maybe it's got a bug..
    I told the guy on the phone this is a network driver issue, the intermittency of the problem shows that and the Apple's lack of settings for the network adapter means the unit is autonegotiating with the router and choosing speed and duplex settings on its own. Sometimes it does that correctly, other times not and the connection although fast has a lot of noise / packet loss / corruption.
    I've found a workaround, you put the unit to sleep and wake it up again and it runs fast until the next shutdown. Not really acceptable seeing as I was paying for "the cream of the crop".
    I will definately not be recommending Apple products, and i'll certainly not be replacing the Windows laptops in my business with Apple's toytown system- i'd go out of business if I had to rely on this.
    All there is left now, is to look at Boot camp and see if I can wipe this waste of space linux hack from the unit and install Windows 7.

  • Packet Loss after Reboot of ASA 5510

    Hi all,
    I have an ASA and a 2811 behind it and I had to replace a battery on a UPS so I had to take down the network to do it. Before doing it the network ran fine, but I did a WR MEM and a Copy RUNNING to STARTUP config thinking that the configs I had were fine. At some point in the past I must of made a change and never applied it and maybe it is causing the issue, but I am at a loss as to what is the cause. I am getting consistent packet loss from the ASA out. Any address I ping on the inside is clear and quick. Also, I do not know if it is related, but I cannot get results from TRACE ROUTES and I believe I used to.
    I have confirmed the PL is related to my network, if I plug the static IP info from the provider in to a laptop, it is clear. I am at my wits end, and I know just enough to be dangerous, so any help would be appreciated.
    Here are my configs:

    I located the issue of the packet loss. I have a security system that uploads FTP images of the cameras and after the reboot of the network, the only computer that wasn't shut down was the security camera PC.
    So I think what happened was after I brought everything back up, it was saturating the outgoing bandwidth, causing packet loss and high latency. Once I determined what it was and shut off the FTP image upload, the pings stabilized and it is working fine now. Trace routes are still not functioning, but I can live without that for now.

  • Packet loss after bonding + vlan

    Hi, I am hoping someone may help me with this issue:
    I have a motherboard with 2 Intel NICs.
    I created a bonding interface, mode = 4 (LACP), and assigned no IP to it.
    create one vlan to internet (dhcp)
    another vlan to local network (static)
    both NICs are connected to the same switch, and LACP configured on the ports
    Problem:
    ping from this one to any other pingable hosts gave strange result, more or less half of the packets are lost.
    when I pulled of one cable, the ping returned to normal...
    something is definitively wrong here, tried to connect the ports to two diffrent switches, same result.
    other computers using LACP has no such problem in the same network.
    If someone has any idea, I will be very greatful. otherwise it seems to be a very time consuming problem to solve. (I have tried to google yesterday without success).
    Thanks,

    I located the issue of the packet loss. I have a security system that uploads FTP images of the cameras and after the reboot of the network, the only computer that wasn't shut down was the security camera PC.
    So I think what happened was after I brought everything back up, it was saturating the outgoing bandwidth, causing packet loss and high latency. Once I determined what it was and shut off the FTP image upload, the pings stabilized and it is working fine now. Trace routes are still not functioning, but I can live without that for now.

  • Ping Packet Loss across MPLS TE Tunnels

    Hello...Please Help,
    I have a Single Area OPSF network running across 4 main routers via GigEth Ckts. The OSPF Network is working correctly. I recently implemented MPLS TE creating two Tunnels - One Explicit Path and One Dynamic Path. Two of the Routers also have a T1 Frame Relay Link over which the Explicit path is configured. It is up and woking but I am experiencing 50-60 percent packet loss when pinging between these PE routers. When I force it to the dynamic tunnel it follows the same FR path and experiences the same packet loss. There is no packet loss anywhere else in the network.
    This is a Lab environment w/three LAN's Two 7206VXR & Two 3745 routers and Three 3550 Switches - one per LAN
    Suggestions?

    Thank You for your response. The problem may not be an MPLS TE problem.
    But would my "path-option" and "priority" being set the same for the Dynamic and Explicit Tunnels cause one tunnel to come up and the other go down and cease to signal. Right now I have one or the other working when viewed w/the "show mpls traffic-eng tunnels" command. If I take one down the other works.
    The IPs are 10.1.101.1 & 2/30 respectively for the FR Link. That was a Typo...I have corrected it.
    The FR interfaces are not SubInt's as the Serial Interface holds the IP address. These are strictly Point to Point but I have the "IP OSPF Network Broadcast" command set and OSPF going across them.
    I have SubInt's set on the Gi0/3 Interface.
    Gi0/3.1 & 3.10 for VLAN's 1 & 10
    There are not any drops when pinging from Within the routers "Interface to Interface".
    But when I ping the LAN Node to Node or from within the Router "if" I do not specify an "interface source" I receive the drops.
    The result is the same from either side of the Network on both of the 7206 Routers.
    Thanks, Kevin

  • Verizon FIOS Intermitte​nt Packet Loss Problem - How to Convince Verizon Support it's NOT ME

    Hi,
    I have been having a problem with Verizon FIOS Internet AND Phone since Thursday afternoon.
    Basically I have intermittent outages several times a day of 15-40 seconds where my download doesn't work, but upload still does. This happens on BOTH my phone and internet. Therefore it's not my router or computer equipment causing the problem.
    Here's what happens:
    - On the internet: I have a periodic download problem where I can receive no data for about 15 - 40 seconds. After that it returns to normal
    - On the phone: If I'm on the phone at the same time then during that period of internet loss I also can not hear anything that the person I am talking to says. However they can hear me just fine (ie. download only problem)
    I have been talking to Verizon technical support and they have blamed my router and ONT. I have tried switching off the router, and using a different one. Also they have replaced the ONT twice.
    * This problem occurs on BOTH the phone and internet at the same time. This clearly suggests the problem is not in my own house.
    In fact I know exactly where the problem lies. I did a traceroute to google below:

    Then I pinged each device for hops 2-4. When the problem occurs the first one in the hop - 74.105.157.1 - runs fine. The second device - 130.81.133.156 - times out, and all other devices further down the chain time out. This clearly suggest that the device:
    130.81.133.156 has major problems.
    I have mentioned this to tech support, but they have no way for me to send them logs. Apparently the support technicians at Verizon can not be trusted with even the most basic of tools like email and the web. They also shield me from the NT (Network technician), who is so special that even the tech support guys are only allowed to text chat with him, not actually talk to him. I have enough logs here to clearly show what the problem is.
    The latest from tech support is that they are sending yet another guy by my house tomorrow to witness this problem firsthand. Then he will call support that will text chat with the NT, and MAYBE they'll start thinking it's not me.
    My main question here is: "How do I get Verizon to believe it really could be a problem in their own network?"
    Here are some threads from last year that explain exactly the same problem I'm having. So it wasn't just me:
    http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-TV-Technical-Ass​istance/Verizon-FIOS-intermittent-connection-drops​...
    http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Intermi​ttent-Network-Timeouts/m-p/28138
    One person said Verizon finally fixed it by replacing a PON card. I'm not sure if this is the same problem as that though.
    I am an avid Starcraft player and this is driving me crazy because I am getting dropped from my games all the time. Also phone conversations suck when there's these big lags where I can't hear who I'm talking to.
    I have had Verizon FIOS internet for 3 years now and this is the first problem I've ever had with it. But I'm starting to get majorly frustrated at how long it's taking to resolve the problem.
    Here is a sample of the ping logs I was talking about for different devices all at the same time.

    Any help, thoughts, suggestions, etc would be great appreciated!

    I understand your logic, but you have not eliminated 74.105.157.1 as the problem.  It could be allowing packets out, like outside callers hearing you, but not allow them back in. Since you have results pinging out, trying ping back in. Use this packet loss tool.  You do not need to catch it when it's not working because this tool will ping your IP address (and all the hops in between) for up to 7 days. You will easily see when packet loss is occurring.
    If it can successfully ping 74.105.157.1 when the problem occurrs, then 130.81.133.156 is not the issue. This may not help dealing with the personalities at Verizon, but it will help definitively knowing which device is the issue.

  • Bouts of packet loss and complete loss of connection

    Ok forum, I give up! I need your help.
    I have an E1200 and am time out and packet loss issues. The internet connection is fine for 30 seconds to five minuets and then everything times out for 15-20 seconds. Although it’s only a minor incontinence to web browsing, it makes playing games and watching videos a nightmare. “Lost connection to server error.” and the like…
    This is what I have done to remedy the problem.
    I upgraded to a new router, the e1200 I am currently using, from my Tenda 10/100 N. The problems where the same that I am experience currently and the reason I bought it in the firs place.
    When I directly connect to the cable modem, I have no issues and everything is fine.
    I have run a trace route and the second hop, (the router to the modem) is the choke point.
    I have cloned the MAC address
    I have updated the firmware and hard reset
    I have throttled my MTU to automatic, 1500, and 1472. None making any difference.
    I have disabled NAT and all that does is kill my internet connection
    I have disabled all firewalls router and windows, no change.
    I replaced the physical wire from the router to the modem.
    I have disconnected all devices except one computer, and no difference.
    I ran a DNS trace and I have… non routable local internet address 192.168.1.1
    DNS-cac-lb-01.rr.com and DNS-cac-lb-02.rr.com
    I am using windows 7 and my ISP is time Warner so-cal. Help me obiwan, you’re my only hope.

    Sorry friend. I have not had the gaul to load the 1.0 firmware. I am 99% sure I have the 2.0 hardware. I did however unplug my modem for an hour and then try and reconnect. The result was a lossless environment for fifteen to twenty minuets (a long time for me.). But, I am right back still having the same problem. A friend gave me a new netgear router, I am going to try that and I am going to go to Timewarner and have them replace my modem just to make sure there is nothing wrong with the surfboard. I will report back with my findings.

  • Tons of packet loss and Verizon techs say its fine

    As you can see from the below test ran from dslreports.com, I'm having a lot of packet loss issues. This has been going on for nearly two weeks now and tech support has been more of an annoyance than a help upto this point. I've talked to tech support at least 5 times only to be told my line test comes back fine, its normal, reset your modem, delete your cookies, is your pc old, etc. I've even had them vpn itno my system and run pings and they see the packet loss and all the issues I'm having first hand and still  say it isn't a big deal. On more than one occasion I've had my modem data light just flashing and had to reset the modem and they suggest I just buy a new modem. Seriously, is this how bad tech support has gotten?
    I've shown them test after test after test and the all come back pretty much the same... The thing is its been perfect for years and suddenly this and its like tech support wants to sweep it under the rug or something.  I've had it suggested to me the packet loss and high pings when I'm not getting the packet loss is due to my pool being over populated.  Like I'm ow getting ping averages of 250-300 instead of 30-40s, again when its not all timing out.
    I've posted over on the dslreports forums asking about this as well as in the Verizon specific forums to the techs all with 0 replies from anything and was told to come here and see if anyone would be able to help.
    I really not bother with the hassle of switching isps as ive been a loyal Verizon dsl customer for well over 5 years but at this point just knowing how bad tech support is alone might make me want to.
    Can anyone offer any insight on what else to do or help on this possibly?
    Thanks.

  • Packet loss when flood pinging a Mac

    I had some trouble transferring large files between my iMac and my MBP the other day and so started a bit of investigation. Mistake really - here is what I found:
    All mac targets are running up-to-date Leopard and use intel processors.
    The home network has a linksys wireless router - all devices connected by copper.
    flood ping tests with command 'sudo ping -f <target>:
    from iMac to MBP shows 30% packet loss
    from MBP tp iMac shows 33% packet loss
    from iMac to windows laptop 0% packet loss
    from iMac to linksys router 0% packet loss
    from iMac to Freecom NAS box 0% packet loss
    from MBP to windows laptop 0% packet loss
    from MBP to linksys router 0% packet loss
    from MBP to Freecom NAS box 0% packet loss
    I took the macbook to work and picked targets on another site, several busy switch hops away.
    from MBP to windows desktop 0% packet loss
    from MBP to another iMac 26% packet loss
    from MBP to mac mini 28% packet loss
    from MBP to linux server 0% packet loss
    from linux server to MBP 32% packet loss
    The firewall is off on all the targets.
    Seem clear enough - Mac machines can't handle high ping loads. It is no good telling me they don't have to. If they can answer a ping at all, they should be able to handle the load. It is a perfectly acceptable way of stress testing the link. File transfers are generally not an issue but now I want to know...
    Why can't the macs handle the ping floods?
    Is this indicative of any other weakness in the IP stack?
    Pete

    I had a suspicion of packet loss on my internet connection but could not be certain it was the ISP at fault. The fact that I had been having trouble transferring large files between my machines led me to look for possible local problems.
    Network fault finding should always examine the hardware first so I wanted to see if there was anything about the cabling or the router which might be causing packet loss.
    Actually copying data about the network is a pretty poor way to test things because you have several additional layer of complexity that can colour the results.
    When I had narrowed down the flood ping packet loss to the macs, I went hunting on the 'net. There were plenty of people who were reporting various kinds of packet loss. Enough of them that I wondered if there was something more to it. Some of them were talking about similar symptoms to mine. The respondents usually answered a question other than the one asked so I thought I would put up some tests and see if there was actually a problem anywhere.
    Now I know it is a 'feature' rather than a fault, I can work around it.
    Thanks anyway

  • Home Hub 3.0 vs Home Hub 2.0 packet loss

    So I upgraded the BT package that our family is on today, and with it came the Home Hub 3.0. Happy right? Better wireless, less connection problems etc... No.
    For some reason, since upgrading, I get random moments of massive packet loss. Up to 50% packets are lost for periods of up to 5 minutes. I've tried resetting the router, tried turning it off for ten minutes etc but still get regular moments of packet loss.
    My internet is not interleaved at the moment so that could be a problem, however before switching to the 3.0 i never had any packet loss with non-interleaved internet (on the 2.0 homehub).
    Could anyone help me?!
    Thanks

  • Help- WDS with Extreme-N & 2x Airport Express with ~ 40% packet loss

    So this problem is driving me crazy. I recently moved into a house that has enough metal in the walls (don't ask) to prevent me from using a single base station so I expanded my network as a WDS utilizing an Airport Extreme (mixed NGB mode) and two Airport Express (one as a relay and one as remote). The configuration appears to work normally some times but other times (especially evenings) I get a very high rate of dropped packets between the client notes (which are connected through the WDS-enabled Expresses) and the base station (using a simple ping 10.0.1.1 to check connectivity to the APBS-N). The problem manifests itself from a users' perspective as very long DNS lookups which causes slow page loads in a browser but it's very reproducible via ping.
    So far I've tried changing the channels on the network but I haven't seen a huge payoff there. iStumbler reports no additional networks on channel 2 which I'm using, there are some on channel 1, 5, and 13. I've also tried channels 7 and 11. We have no microwave in the house and our cordless phone (5.8ghz) never interrupted with our simpler Express-based network at our old house, n/m the fact that the phone is never in use when we have this problem.
    I don't seem to see the problem when I'm local to (in the same room as) the AEBS; it really seems to happen only when I'm on the WDS-enabled remote and/or relay.
    Other data points that may help are that the AEBS-N drops out of the Airport utility at the same time. Sometimes isn't gone for 30 seconds, other times for > 30 minutes. The other base stations continue to report "Green" in that they are not having any WDS problems. If I disconnect the remote node the relay will correctly reflect a status of yellow, so I know it somewhat works.
    It's an open network (no encryption, open SSID) so it's unlikely that there's an issue there.
    Clients include an Apple TV, iBook G4, MacBook, Tivo Series 3, Intel Mini and Dell Latitude D810. Because of the diversity of clients I don't think it's a driver or NIC adapter issue on any of the clients.
    Does anyone have any experience working in a similar environment? Suggestions on troubleshooting packet loss (or other performance issues) in a WDS network?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hello errorsupply. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I suggest downloading a copy of iStumbler. Use iStumbler's Inspector feature (select Edit > Inspector from iStumbler's menu) to determine the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at different points around your house, by performing a simple RF site survey. Within the Inspector, note the values for "signal" & "noise" at these locations. Start with your MacBook near the main base station, note the readings, and then, choose the locations where you have the relay and remote base stations.
    SNR is the signal level (in dBm) minus the noise level (in dBm). For example, a signal level of -53dBm measured near an access point and typical noise level of -90dBm yields a SNR of 37dB, a healthy value for wireless LANs.
    The SNR, as measured from the MacBook, decreases as the range to the base station increases because of applicable free space loss. Also an increase in RF interference from microwave ovens and cordless phones, which increases the noise level, also decreases SNR.
    SNR Guideline
    o 40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
    o 25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
    o 15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
    o 10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
    o 5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
    If the SNR is 20dB+ at each of these locations, then you should be getting reasonable performance from your AirPorts. If less, either try to locate/eliminate the source of the Wi-Fi interference or try relocating the relay and/or remote base station until they are within a 20dB SNR range of the main (and for the remote, of the relay).

  • EEM- Email alert with IP SLA Based on Packet Loss

    thank you

    What's you have could work with a few modifications.  First, increase that threshold-value of 3 to 20.  You can leave the falling threshold value of 1.  You'll need to add another applet to match the falling threshold syslog message.  Not sure exactly what that one will look like.
    The first applet will look like this:
    event manager environment q "
    event manager applet ipsla-threshold-exceeded
     event syslog pattern "IP SLAs\(1\): Threshold exceeded"
     action 001 cli command "enable"
     action 002 cli command "config t"
     action 003 cli command "no event manager applet ipsla-healthy"
     action 004 cli command "event manager applet ipsla-unhealthy"
     action 005 cli command "event timer countdown time 900"
     action 006 cli command "action 1.0 mail server $q 10.240.0.10$q to $q [email protected]$q from $q [email protected]$q subject $q Alert for Intermittent Link$q body $q link intermittent in 20 %$q"
     action 007 cli command "action 2.0 cli command enable"
     action 008 cli command "action 3.0 cli command $q config t$q"
     action 009 cli command "action 4.0 cli command $q no event manager applet ipsla-unhealthy$q"
     action 010 cli command "action 5.0 cli command end"
     action 011 cli command "end"
    And the second applet (the one where you'll need to fill in the appropriate syslog pattern) will look like:
    event manager applet ipsla-threshold-normal
     event syslog pattern "FALLING THRESHOLD PATTERN HERE"
     action 001 cli command "enable"
     action 002 cli command "config t"
     action 003 cli command "no event manager applet ipsla-unhealthy"
     action 004 cli command "event manager applet ipsla-healthy"
     action 005 cli command "event timer countdown time 900"
     action 006 cli command "action 1.0 mail server $q 10.240.0.10$q to $q [email protected]$q from $q [email protected]$q subject $q Link is stable$q body $q Link has been stable for 15 minutes$q"
     action 007 cli command "action 2.0 cli command enable"
     action 008 cli command "action 3.0 cli command $q config t$q"
     action 009 cli command "action 4.0 cli command $q no event manager applet ipsla-healthy$q"
     action 010 cli command "action 5.0 cli command end"
     action 011 cli command "end"

  • NIC teaming creates packet loss (Windows 2008 R2)?

    I'm experiencing some packet loss to all of our VMs that we didn't have before we made some changes to our Hyper-V implementation (Windows 2008 R2). Most of the VMs also run 2008 R2 - with 3 that run Server 2003.
    The host server is a Dell R610 with three 4 port NICS - two Intel quad port gigabit and a quad port Broadcom. 
    We us the individual ports of the Broadcom for host management and live migration - no problems here. We use the Intel cards for both iSCSI and VM networks. Calling the two intel cards “A” and “B”, and the ports P1-4 we've used AP1, AP2, BP1, BP2 (ports
    1 & 2 of both Intel NICs) for iSCSI connections, and we've created a NIC Team with AP3, AP4, BP3, and BP4 (ports 3 and 4 of both Intel NICs). The team type is "Virtual Machine Load Balancing". We then created a Hyper-V switch based on this team
    for use with all of the VMs created on the host. (as a side note: prior to implementing the NIC team, we just had 4 Hyper-V switches, one associated with each of these 4 ports.)
    The 4 ports of the NIC team are connected to two different Cisco SG200 switches - AP3 and BP3 are connected to switch1, and AP4 and BP4 are connected to switch2 (in an attempt to maximize redundancy). The two Cisco SG200s are simply connected to the rest
    of our network - each to a different switch within the subnet. There is minimal configuration done to the SG200s (for example NO
     link aggregation); spanning tree is enable however.
    My question is: can the network cables be connected to different switches (as they currently are) and if so is there some configuration piece (either on the switch or within Windows) that I'm missing? 
    What are the options here if this configuration is incorrect? The packet loss is in the range of 0.1%, but we've had odd spikes where a VM was essentially unavailable for a brief period (a few minutes) then returned to "normal" (0,1% loss). 
    Pinging a device (like the SG200 itself) or another physical server (for example our domain controller or the hyper-v host itself) results in essentially 0 loss; maybe one or two packets during the course of a 12 hour ping (this was the “normal” ping
    response to VMs before we created the NIC team, so I’m quite sure this has something to do with it).
    Thanks in advance!

    I believe when utilizing the Virtual Machine Load Balancing the ports must be connected to the same switch, stack, or chassis as the arp for the MAC could move.  I believe, although I could be wrong, that the outages you see is when the machine "moves"
    between ports and the arp being updated between the two switches. 
    I believe you are looking for switch fault tolerance teaming which will allow for the failure of adapter, cabling, or switch which will achieve your goal of maximum redundancy.  This is achieved via spanning tree on the switches, which you indicated
    is already configured.
