Ethernet address on two trunked switches at the same time

I have two access layer switches sharing a dot1q trunk ( a port channel with four members), and an HP blade server with one connection (a port channel with two members) into each..  The blade server's connections into each switch is also a dot1q trunk tagging just one vlan.  In each connection from the blade server to each switch the mac addresses look very much alike.  I determine this by writing a script to log into both switches at once and run the "show mac add int" command on each port channel to the blade server.  In tcpdumps the commands are sent typically about .1 - .4 seconds apart on average.
So if the "show mac addr int" command is being run .1 - .4 seconds apart on each switch and have a number of mac addresses in common, would this indicate that these ethernet addresses are flapping in a way that might cause interruptions in packet delivery?  Some are experiencing missed pings.  No VPCs are used in this configuration -  just a pair of either 6509 or 7018 switches connected via a dot1q port channel.

It sounds to me like what you are trying to achieve is network teaming on the HP Blade Server whereby you can have a connection to two different switches.
Natively something like this would cause problems because both switchports (or portchannels) would see the same L2 Address which would then confuse upstream switches as they would not know where to forward frames to. I believe the HP servers may allow this type of setup but it requires a specific config on the teaming element to prevent a single MAC address being shown on two different ports.

  • Unable to open 2 9509 switches at the same time in Cisco Device Manager

    Dear Friends,
    There are a pair of MDS 9509 switches whose management addresses are 172.16.2.197 and 172.16.2.198.
    When we try to manage these Devices through Cisco device manager, the first device opens up without any problem, but when the second 9509 is opened in Cisco Device Manager, it fails giving the following error message:
    "Open udp transport failed: Address already in use: Cannot bind"
    To get around this issue, if we close the first interface to the 9509 switch, then we are able to open up the second 9509 in Device Manager.
    We have this problem only in Cisco device manager. If we open one switch in Cisco device manager and the other switch in Cisco Fabric Manager, it works.
    Also, we can telnet to both the devices successfully at a time.
    The device manager in use is 4.1.
    Please find enclosed the sh version outputs for your kind reference.
    Can you please help me understand the cause of this issue?
    Thanks a lot
    Gautam

    Is it always the same MDS that fails to open, or can you open either one first, and then the second one poses the problem (no matter which one is second)?
    Can you try from a second work station and see if you can open DM to both switched at the same time? I suspect the address it is complaining about is the local workstation IP, not the MDS IP.
    If you open the FM map, then you click on the MDS ICONs, can you open DM to both MDS?

  • How can I log into two differant accounts at the same time in two windows without the second window affecting the first.

    I'm trying to log into two facebook accounts at the same time in differant windows. When ever I log into the second account in the second window it changes the login in the first window. When I hit home or any other link the first window account has been logged out and logged into the second window account. I tried installing a second copy of firefox in a differant folder that the first but it seems to use all the files of the first installation. If I can get 2 toatally seperated instalations that don't rely on the same history, cookies, cache, etc I belive that will solve my problem. Please help.

    Nah, that won't work. Facebook has a feature that gets your IP Address, so as soon as you sign into one on the same computer, it changes the other login for safety purposes (say, someone was on a public library PC. They forgot to log out. Someone else logs in, and it automatically logs them out). You'll need 2 computers to do that.

  • Two processes running at the same time in Lookout

    I have installed Lookout 5.0 with 200 I/O Points onto our server computer. The application of motion control is next to the 200 I/O points through OPC PMAC server/client. Now I would like to have a second process in the same server for trouble shooting and testing without stopping the motion control process. However, this second testing process could have also many I/O points through Serial and USB ports. I assume that the total amount of I/O points of both processes will be greater than 200.I prefer to have independent processes for control and testing because access levels. Can I have these two processes running at the same time when needed?

    Hi,
    From your description you are using a third party OPC server for the motion application. You could have a second Lookout process communicating with the same OPC server with no problems, as long as you do not exceed the number of I/O points your license supports.
    Also, the process you are using for testing obviously could not overwrite datamembers (or registers if you will) that would interfere in the overall application, in other words you can test your application as long as you keep the coherency of the test.
    So the answer would be, yes it is possible, however you are still limited to the number of I/O's your license supports... You may even consider upgrade the number of I/O's you have in your license.

  • How to sync with two computers not at the same time, I'm registerd with one computer

    How to sync with two computers (not at the same time), I'm registered with one computer and am trying to connect with second computer with same iPhone. To sync the first time with the second PC "Firefox Sync Option tells me Create New account or Connect, when I connect it gives me a Passcode and on iPhone it also gives me a Passcode, than how do I connect? Both the iPhone and PC gives me a Passcode and have now idea what to do with them.
    Where do I find my Sync Key ? so I can install manually if it works ?

    Use the Sync Key ''(Recovery Key)'' from the PC that you used to initially setup your Firefox Sync service, when setting up that 2nd PC with Sync. You need to use '''Add a device''' to setup the 2nd and subsequent devices on a Sync account. <br />

  • How to insert into two differents tables at the same time

    Hi
    I'm newer using JDev, (version 3.1.1.2 cause the OAS seems to support just the JSP 1.0)
    and I want to insert into two differents tables at the same time using one view.
    How can I do that ?
    TIA
    Edgar

    Oracle 8i supports 'INSTEAD OF' triggers on object views so you could use a process similar to the following:
    1. Create an object view that joins your two tables. 'CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW test AS SELECT d.deptno, d.deptname, e.empname FROM DEPT d, EMP E'.
    2. Create an INSTEAD OF trigger on the view.
    3. Put code in the trigger that looks at the :NEW values being processed and determines which columns should be used to INSERT or UPDATE for each table. Crude pseudo-code might be:
    IF :NEW.deptno NOT IN (SELECT deptno FROM DEPT) THEN
    INSERT INTO dept VALUES(:NEW.deptno, :NEW.deptname);
    INSERT INTO emp VALUES (:NEW.deptno, :NEW.empname);
    ELSE
    IF :NEW.deptname IS NOT NULL THEN
    UPDATE dept SET deptname = :NEW.deptname
    WHERE deptno = :NEW.deptno;
    END IF;
    IF :NEW.empname IS NOT NULL THEN
    UPDATE emp SET empname = :NEW.empname
    WHERE deptno = :NEW.deptno;
    Try something along those lines.

    Don't use any full screen options for any app that has them
    Mount your device and double click on it to open it. Drag this window to the upper right of your Desktop and resize it to a bit less than half of your Desktop.
    Open the next folder and position it on the lower left side and resize it so you can still see the previous window.

  • Play two video files at the same time.

    I am trying to play two video files at the same time. I create two threads, each of which has its own frame, playing button, and builds its own graph to play the file. Now everything seems works except that when the first file is being played and I hit PLAY
    to play the second file, the program plays the second file but the first one is paused; furthermore the control button has no response for the first one. Did I miss anything? Can anyone help me figure out the problem?
    Best,
    Fayin

    You don't need separate threads for 2+ playback pipelines because the filters create worker threads internally and don't block execution on calling thread.
    If you decide to keep separate threads, you will have to follow Michel's advice and have message pumps on those threads.
    You can also have both files in the same graph, in which case you have perfect sync between them (both start playing together in sync), however you cannot pause/stop/run files separately.
    The problem you described is most likely not a DirectShow problem and is rather about generic threading, COM or window messaging.

  • Control two different parameters at the same time

    Two motors were connected each other rigidly. One motor controlled torque and the other motor controlled speed. I generated some torque and speed data which represented one cycle of motion from a motor simulation. I like to send these two different data sets (torque and speed) to two different motors at the same time. Torque data sends to one motor and speed data sends to the other motor to see the response of the load profile. In order to do this, I thought about using multithread, but I am not sure it will work for this application. Usually multithreading delay the CPU time so the overall control process might be delayed, right? If you have better idea, please let me know.

    If you are using one motion controller to control both motors, you will probably run into problems if you try to use multithreading on the PC. However, you can execute up to 10 programs (threads) at a time, in addition to host communication, using on-board programming. For more information on on-board programming please refer to the following tutorial: Developer Zone Tutorial: On-board Programming in FlexMotion

  • How to Test two UUT not at the same time??

    My test station need to test two UUT not at the same time ,Two UUT means two serial Number need to scan, and then test  each UUT after scan action . The two UUT are the same PCBA,all the test items are the same. So the sequence file is same. But how to realize it in TestStand ? Can you give me a simple example for that ? Thanks so much !

    Have a look at the process model options of TestStand. For your task I would  use the batch model. If I remember correctly there are also some examples delivered with Teststand. Search for MultiUUT and Processmodell in the examples directory of your Teststand installation.

  • Collecting data from advantech-usb4704 with two different apps at the same time

    I wonder if I can access to Advantech-4704 with two different applications at the same time?
    I use this block in my vis.
    I have enough ports, but inputs are needed in completely different applications. Do I have to close one of them or can they run simultaneously?
    Thankyou!

    Dear gtu,
    as nathand said, usually it is not supported to access the same physical resource simultaneously from multiple programs. In case of DAQmx for instance, you will get an error message which says that the resource is already reserved. I suppose the same would happen with your driver, however it might be worth a try.
    One workaround could be however if you revise your applications and merge the codes if it is possible so that no concurent resource allocation takes place.
