Face intermittent ping failure

Hi Guys, i face intermittent ping failure to a server which is monitor using IP Sentry. But when i do a sh logging buffer on my 6509 switch, i nvr see the port which is connected to the server "leaves". Does that means that the physical connectivity is still there but somehow we just lose the net connection.
I've also sh counters on the port, it state 25 linkchange. but i cant seems to look for the date/time it has linkchange.
Are there any other more commands to troubleshoot this issue.
Pls advise on this.. need help badly

When you know that the linkstate-changecount was 25, you can deduct that the link has stayed up when the counter still reads 25 at any given later time.
Please do a sh int or show port and verifiy your speed/duplex settings. This command will also give you the amounts of errored frames. Check these for changes, if they increase rapidly, you probably have a cabling problem or some other layer2 issue.
Furthermore, you should inspect the data-path between the NMS and the server.
Regards,
Leo

Intermittent send failures in Outlook 2011 for MAC

Ever since Verizon changed its POP server settings, I am getting intermittent send failures from MS Outlook for MAC 2011 even though I made the correct port changes and SSL options in Outlook 2011. Everywhere I look for assistance, including Microsoft, Apple and Verizon, no one has found anything wrong other than Microsoft suspects that Verizon's server doesn't like too many logins and passwords in a set period of time. Apparently, every email that is sent, sends a User Name and Password to Verizon's server. MS suspects that the server doesn't like that and rejects messages within a certain time period. Furthermore, I cannot find any Verizon support for Outlook 2011 for the MAC! Once again this is "intermittent" such as 4 messages will go and then the 5th will not. If I leave it in the outbox, it will eventually send. I'm not sure that MS's theory is fully correct because sometimes I get the send failures on the first message sent. The error message says, "Outlook cannot find the server etc." "Error Code: 3170". All incoming messages come into Outlook 2011 correctly. Does Verizon support Outlook 2011 for the MAC?
Solved!

I had the same issue. After talking to a Verizon FIOS technician from thier techinical support center, he said that no changes are needed for Outlook for Mac. That means the settings should be:
Incoming server: incoming.verizon.net
Incoming port: 110
Use SSL to connect: UNCHECKED
Outgoing server: outgoing.verizon.net
Outgoing port: 25
Use SSL to connect: UNCHECKED
Hope that helps others not waste an hour searching Verizon's website and trying to navigate their massive phone tree to actually speak to a technician.

IP SLA EEM to reload router after ping failure

Hi,
I have created the below configuration but it seems to be failing to trigger the reload. Anybody can please comment what is missing here?
track 1 ip sla 10 reachability
delay down 180 up 40 ***** this is in sec - since ping freq is 10 sec , after 18 ping failure and 3 mnts track reachability will be down - it will wait 40 sec before declaring UP *****
ip sla 10
icmp-echo 172.20.20.153
threshold 450 **** in millisec it is threshold value - no action will be taken ****
timeout 500 **** in millisec it is icmp timeout *****
frequency 10 *** icmp ping every 10 sec *****
ip sla schedule 10 life forever start-time now
event manager applet Router-Reload
event track 1 state down
action 1.0 syslog msg "Reply timed out; Router will Reload"
action 1.1 cli command "enable"
action 1.2 cli command "reload"

It worked. Thanks Joseph.
So what was the issue with my approach. Is it the sequence number?

Intermittent Broadband Failure

I have BT Home Hub 2, worked fine for the last couple of years. Recently started to get intermittent Broadband failure, sometimes twice a day, sometimes twice a week.
When it fails the 'phone light' flashes orange, the rest of the lights are steady blue. At this time the BB phone is dead, the main phone line is OK. After some minutes it comes back OK, reset also seems to fix it.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

Are you sure it's the phone light that goes orange ?
I'm in the same boat. HH2 was ok(ish) for a while then started to drop out, just for a couple of seconds at a time. On mine, the BraodBand light goes Orange.
I've had new cable and new main connection box (with built in filter), but to no avail.
If yours is like mine, BT will have a log of the outages. The engineer that visited me called the appropriate office when he was here. I like that idea, as you sometimes get the impression that BT / Engineers etc don't always believe what you say.
Mine still does it, in fact it dropped out for 3 hours the other day, but I think that was a separate issue.
You will see lots of other people on these pages with the same problem. I don't know what causes it,,,,,, and apparently, neither do BT,,,, or it would be fixed.
Good Luck

Intermittent ping drop on MPLS VSAT link.

We have a client connected through VSAT. I am at Service Provider place and client is connected through VSAT link in MPLS cloud. I am facing intermittent ping drop in the tunnel interface terminated at other end. Pl help how do i check the trouble shoot the problem.

actually you have configured ip mtu thats why you were not able to see on interface. If you change then mtu with only mtu command then it will be changed.
only MTU is realted to harware
ip mtu "IP MTU is used to determine whether a non-labeled IP packet forwarded through an interface has to be fragmented (the IP MTU has no impact on labeled IP packets). It has to be lower or equal to hardware MTU (and this limitation is enforced).

HT201405 Intermittent backup failures, network password is correct

I followed all the directions in this article to troubleshoot intermittent backup failures. The odd thing is that my Time Capsule is correct in the keychain. Plus, most of the backups work fine.

Intermittent Send Failure

I've got Mail 2.1.3 (753.1) on a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.4.11. In the last few days Mail has developed an intermittent send failure. When I tell it to try again later and then open the same message in the Out Folder, it sends immediately.
This happens on new messages and responses, and can happen in the middle of an email discussion. It's about every three or four messages. I've repaired permissions, restarted, and looked for new software. Very annoying; help appreciated!

Wow, all that can be completely unchanged and suddenly start blocking mail between one message and the next?
Earthlink, POP, pop.earthink.net. smtp.earthlink.net:(my email addy), server port 587, MD5 Challenge-Response, SSL unchecked on port 110 with password authentication. All this came from a Helpful Earthlink Person. Of course, they do have a record of changing required settings without telling their customers...
I have two other Earthlink accounts on Mail. All three have the same settings. I just used those two accounts to send batches of three messages at a time back and forth to my main account. On the third pass, one message out of three did hang up on its way from a secondary account back to the primary. So it's not just that one account.
Progress!
Why do I feel this is now Earthlink... Could it be just because it always is?
Appreciate the help and patience!

Cisco 3750 ping failures after stack upgrade

I just updated my 4 stack of 3750X switches from 12.x IOS to 15.0.2 IOS. Only 2 of them updated correctly the first time, I had to manually update to the other 2. After getting all of them upgrade I restarted the entire stack.
After that I cannot get PCs not on my default VLAN to talk to their DHCP servers or ping anywhere in the network. I get a "PING: transmit failed. General failure". I can however, ping into my default vlan from the switch and ping out to other locations from the switch.
I've tried the following:
Checking firewall status on several (WIN 7) pc's, it's off
Changing ports on switch (no change)
Restarting the PC (no change)
Release/renew ipconfig (no change)
flushdns (no change)
clear ARP table on switch
set un-set spanning-tree portfast (no change)
check interface status (up and up)
check vlan interface status (up and up)
changed vlans (no change)
checked VLAN help addresses (still there)
Any help at this point is appreciated as my network is entirely down right now.

I can set my laptop statically to a VLAN address, and I can ping out, get to the internet, ping between VLANs, etc. But if I just set a port (or leave it in the default VLAN) it will give me the “PING: transmit failed. General failure.” DHCP requests still aren’t getting fulfilled and even pings won’t go through if there’s not a statically set address. Nothing changed on my server configs and I even restarted my DHCP servers after encountered this problem. My guess is this is a new feature that’s turned on by default in the new IOS that needs to be disabled. Any help is appreciated.

Airport Extreme intermittent WiFi failure

Airport Extreme used as a wireless network bridge to a DSL (Cincinnati Bell) modem with multiple devices without fail for 2 years. Lately the Airport intermittently drops the wireless connection. After a short, inconsistent duration, the AIrport reestablishes the connection. During the failure the status light remains green and no failure is detected or annunciated in the management app. This failure frequency has inreased over several months.
I've ruled out modem failure by trying another brand wireless router. I've reset the Airport and updatred to latest firmware without success.

O.R.E, Welcome to the discussion area!
Which Power Mac G5 do you have? The latest models are not compatible with the AirPort Extreme card. See KB 302721, Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) AirPort and Bluetooth options.
Assuming you have an earlier Power Mac G5 which is compatible with the AirPort Extreme card, one or more of the following must be true:
The AirPort Extreme card is not installed correctly.
The AirPort Extreme card is defective.
The Power Mac G5's motherboard is defective.

EEM config to monitor ping failure

Hello All,
Excellent forum...
I'm hoping someone can help me with my configuration...
I'm looking at setting up EEM on my switch to basically bounce a few selected ports once their is an ICMP failure.
Ideally i'll be conected to the device being monitored, and once their is a failure (ICMP failure), I'll like to trigger a reset on a few ports on the switch .
Anyt help would be greatly appreciated.
B.K

You can use IP SLA, object tracking, and EEM for this. For example:
ip sla 1
icmp-echo 10.1.1.1
ip sla schedule 1 life forever start now
track 1 ip sla 1 reachability
event manager applet ping-watch
event track 1 state down
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 2.0 cli command "config t"
action 3.0 cli command "int range gi0/1 - 4"
action 4.0 cli command "shut"
action 5.0 cli command "end"

Satellite C660 - Intermittent boot failure

For the past month my Satellite C660 intermittently refuses to boot. Frequency of failure appears to be increasing.
The drive light comes on, the fan runs for 5 seconds (sometimes 15seconds with a speed increase at the end) and then the machine shuts down.
No bios display.
This happens with battery only, PSU only or both connected. With HDD in or out, with or without ram.
Bios has been reset and updated and the bios battery replaced.
No loose connections internally.
PSU produces 19.3V DC.
No obvious pattern as to when it will boot, but when it does W7 runs fine.
Would be grateful for any input.

As a corollary, the machine will reboot OK if the power is removed for 2-3 minutes.
That applies if it has been running from the battery or the psu.
It seems that it is retaining the 'shut down' state while there is power available either via the battery or the psu.
It's liveable with, but it would be good to know just why it's happening or if there's a better solution than pulling the battery/switching off the psu's supply.

Intermittant trackpad failure

This is getting a tad bit annoying. I thought that the fixes issued by apple, in regards to the software controller for the trackpad, would fix the intermittant failures, but they haven't. I went to the apple store with an appointment for them to take a look at it... but the tech knew less about apples that I do. The only way he said they can fix it is if I'm willing to be without my computer for 2 weeks. As frustrating as this is, being without the computer for 2 weeks is far worse. Any suggestions?
I know [from previous powerbooks I've owned] that the trackpad is less responsive when the computer is running nice and toasty, but this is not occuring only when the computer is too warm. It occurs more often when there is a period of inactivity, but is not limited to that. It will continue to be unresponsive unless I reset the trackpad by putting my hand across the entire pad.
Is this a hardware failure? Anyone have a workaround that will avoid me having to deal with apple support again?
PS: reason for not wanting to send the computer in, is past failures with repairs when the powerbook is sent in. I had to send in a previous model for repairs 5 times before they simply offered me a new computer [which is not this computer that is having the problem]. This process took over 2 months to complete.

I posted in a related topic about my wife's
PowerBook's trackpad issues. We were experiencing
extremely frustrating cursor freezes since 10.4.3.
I just upgraded her machine to 10.4.5 and have been
problem free for the past hour. We'll see how it
goes over the next few days...
Anyone else have a similar experience with the recent
upgrade?
Nevermind... It's back, and in some cases worse than ever.
We had a rather embarassing situation occur at a coffee shop this morning. Someone noticed the PowerBook and was asking questions about Apple, Mac OSX, etc.
We were trying to show off some of the iLife features and the trackpad was extra-wacky... needless to say he was probably thinking "Nice computer, too bad you can't use it when you want to."
Ugh.

IOS 8.2 intermittent gmail failures

Anybody else having intermittent gMail password failures in 8.2?
Background: I have two gmail accounts. (One gmail, one a business gmail hosted account). The seem to be taking turns saying my password is incorrect. Then they switch at random. I have tried deleting and reading. nothing seems to be working.

Update 8.2 has broken our Google Apps mail integration for my company. We are getting password incorrect errors on multiple accounts. Deleting the account, restarting and readding does nothing. Even removing 2 step verification does not fix the issue. Just wanted to give a heads up.

Intermittent installation failure

I am seeing an intermittent engine installation failure. The environment is always identical (I am attempting to automate the installation, so the OS content is always the same, the machine uptime is approximately the same when Oracle installation starts, etc.).
In an attempt to figure out what's happening, I ran the installed in highest level debug mode. Here are the only differences I have been able to find among almost 70000 lines of installActions log files. The logs are 8MB each, but I can post them if necessary.
Any ideas?
Success case:
FINEST: 6/17/13 6:12:21 AM CDT: oracle.install.driver.oui.OUISetupDriver:- null[SUCCEEDED]

   - Prepare[SUCCEEDED]
- null[SUCCEEDED]
   - Copy files[SUCCEEDED]
   - Link binaries[SUCCEEDED]
   - Setup files[SUCCEEDED]
- Execute Root Scripts for Oracle Database installation[SUCCEEDED]
Failure case:

   - Prepare[SUCCEEDED]
- null[SUCCEEDED]
   - Copy files[SUCCEEDED]
   - Link binaries[SUCCEEDED]
   - Setup files[SUCCEEDED]
- Execute Root Scripts for Oracle Database installation[INPROGRESS]

Without exact OS versions and exact versions of whatever it is you are installing, help is impossible - are you following all of the step sin the relevant install documentation ? If the process succeeds for one server and not the other, then you will need to compare settings on the two servers to see what is different
