Getting Broadcast traffic from one 3745 to another

The topology is simple. Three 3550 switches as the backbone tied together using spanning-tree layer 2 wire speed switching. Very simple stuff there. Introduce 3745 access routers, one attached to each 3550, each loaded with 16port ESW, 1 GigE GBic card, and a 8A/S card.
The problem is we have systems that blow out broadcast traffic that needs to traverse accross all 16-ESWs. We have tried all manor of things but we can not get broadcast traffic to traverse the 1GE port. We can see packets hitting the interface but they are simply getting dropped on the floor.
I can go into more detail if needed but we think we're missing a painfully simple detail. Perhaps something to do with L3 and L2? Perhaps something to do with bridge groups or vlans or helper protocols?
Any wisdom to help us out would be greatly appreciated!

As you probably already know, the helper-address is configured on the interface that receives the broadcast to be forwarded. So if the broadcast source is in a 16ESW then I would expect the helper address to be configured on whatever interface (probably virtual) repersents the layer 3 interface for those layer 2 ports.
The function of helper address is that it takes a broadcast packet and forwards to some destination address. The general assumption is that the destination address will be unicast. The destination address can be a subnet broadcast (directed broadcast) and I assume that this is what you are trying to do. Is this correct? If so then be sure that you have ip directed-broadcast enabled on the interface where the destination subnet is located.
Another potential issue is identification of broadcast packets to be forwarded. Helper address is not intended to forward ALL broadcasts. There is a group of protocols that are enabled by default (DHCP, TFTP, etc). If the broadcast packets that you want to forward are not one of these default protocols then you need to use the ip forward-protocol udp command which would be configured on the interface receiving the initial broadcast (the same interface as the helper-address).
You probably have these already. But I can not find a good description of what is configured where and thought that a review of these principles might be helpful.
It probably would be quite helpful to post configs of at least one 3745 and also its associated 3550. If you do not want to post these on the forum please feel free to EMail them to me. My EMail address is available from my forum profile.

  • How we can get the values  from one screen to another screen?

    hi guru's.
         how we can get the values  from one screen to another screen?
              we get values where cusor is placed but in my requirement i want to get to field values from one screen to another screen.

      satheesh.

    Just think of dynpros as windows into the global memory of your program... so if you want the value of a field on dynpro 1234 to appear on dynpro 2345, then just pop the value into a global variable (i.e. one defined in your top include), and you will be able to see it in your second dynpro (assuming you make the field formats etc the same on both screens!).

  • How to get a value from one item into another

    How can i get value from one item into another item.
    Ex: I have a report, in there i have check boxes, and when i have checked some rows, and press submitt, a prosses computates it into a item on another page, and a branche redirects to page 3. Then i'm going to use the value in the item into a PL/SQL script in an report to show the submittet items.
    How can i do this?
    Computation script, pages and all that is fixed. But i dont know which PL/SQL statement to use to get th value from the item.

    Hi Fredr1k,
    Use the V() function from pl/sql.
    e.g. V('P3_MY_ITEM')
    will return the value of that page item.
    As long as the pl/sql is called from within the Apex environment.

  • Getting iTunes Library from one computer to another

    I recently got s a new computer so my sister was given my old one. I'd like to know teh easiest way to transfer iTunes from one computer to another. I have to do this twice, once from my old to my new, and from her old to my old.
    thanks for the help

    WHat you need to do, so everything is easy, is first consolidate the library in iTunes. What this does is takes every song currently listed in iTunes and COPY"S it to the My Mucis/iTUnes/iTunes Music folder.
    Once this is done you will copy the "iTUnes" folder to an external harddrive. this folder contains the important
    "iTunes Library" file with the rating, playcount, playlist and the "iTunes Music" folder with your songs.
    This is all covered at this link using an iPod to transfer (You can still use this artical for an external drive) http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173

  • Getting User Settings from One MBP to another MBP

    Scenario:  I've got two 2011 MBP 13" 2.7ghz 500GB Hybrid SSD 8GB RAM laptops.  On one of them, the hard drive became unrepairable, so in order to fix, I transferred all of my data via thunderbolt from the unrepairable hard drive to the other MBP's hard drive.  I then erased and restored the hard drive of the machine not working and reinstalled Lion.  All good.  I then transferred all of my data back.  Question, how do I get my user settings back if I skipped the set up assistant the first time around?  Migration assistant?  I put the MBP holding my old data in target disk mode but I only am able to migrate the settings of the previously working MBP.  Does this make sense?  Thank you.

    If I'm getting this right (and that's not certain) when you first
    transferred all of my data via thunderbolt from the unrepairable hard drive to the other MBP's hard drive.
    How did you do this and what did you copy and where (to another folder?) on the working MBP?

  • How to get array values from one class to another

    Supposing i have:
    - a class for the main()
    - another for the superclass
    And i want to create a subclass that does some function on an array object of the the superclass, how can i do so from this new subclass while keeping the original element values?
    Note: The values in the array are randomly generated integers, and it is this which is causing my mind in failing to comprehend a solution.
    Any ideas?

    If the array is declared as protected or public in the superclass you can directly access it using its identifier. If not, maybe the superclass can expose the array via some getter method.
    If this functionality can be generified (or is generic enough) to apply to all subclasses of the superclass the method should be moved to the superclass to avoid having to reproduce it in all the subclasses.

  • How to get attribute values from one view to another

    HI all,
    Thx in Advance..
    I have 2 view like v1,v2.In v1 i used one attribute values from "get single attribute" method.And i need the same values in v2 screen.For this i did in v1 outbound plugs , i mentioned the parameter name . How can i get the same values in  v2.

    Hi chandru ,
    you said you declare the parameters in the Outbound Plug of V1.  now go to view V2 inbound plug Tab and creat one inbound plug
    double click on the plug name .it will navigate you to the event handeler method . Now add the outbound parameter variables in the
    parameters
    For example : V1firing the navigation plug
    a type string " defined in parameter
      wd_this->fire_out_to_view2_plg(
        a =      'ABCD'                           " string
    you can retrive the value freely in v2 inbound event handeler
    a type string " defined in parameter
    *   set single attribute
        lo_el_context->set_attribute(
          name =  `TEXT`
          value =  a )." here you will get the 'ABCD'.

  • How do i get my library from one computer to another?

    My iTunes library is on an older PC that I don't use anymore.
    I want to move the files to my newer computer.
    The older computer will NOT connect to the internet...
    The two computers are close to each other.
    I'm wondering if I can set up a network with the two computers and move them from drive to drive.
    Thanks

    Hey there productionassistance,

  • Get Selection options from one view to another view

    Hi Experts,
    I am using two views, first view  it shows basic list of records based on selection options criteria , here I used component WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS . Then if we click on any record in first view then it opens popup window with record relevant information. Here I want to get selection option values while editing record values.
    Initially I used context node for one value, for that just I created node and attribute then bind to table then I used with method get_static_attributes_table(  ) in second view.
    But I need all values to be used in second view.
    Please could you suggest, is there another way to get values into second view?
    Regards,
    BBC

    Hello BBC,
    you can access the SELECT_OPTION component usage in second view and then you retrieve the selection fields and its corresponding range table. In this case the component usage instance will be shared across the application unless you explictly delete the component usage.

  • Getting a calendar from one Mac to another

    Hello,
    I created a calendar on my MacBook (iPhoto 7.1.1) which I ordered as a Christmas present for someone and am very pleased with the results. I want to get that calendar file to show up on my G5 upstairs, which has iPhoto 6.0.6. I exported it from my MacBook as a pdf which I can see on my G5 (I have a home network) but can't figure out how to import it so that it shows up in the left pane (Source) in iPhoto on the G5.
    The goal is to both just see it (I have a 22" Samsung) which I can do via the pdf, and also to be able to open the file and work on it and order a better calendar. Thanks for any ideas.

    Dave B.
    You cannot do this, I'm afraid.
    A calendar (or book) is simply an entry in the library database. To move it to another machine you'll need to move the entire library - or at least the library with all the pics that you want to use. However this won't work for you because the machine you want to move it to has v6 on it and it will not open a v7 library.

  • How to get a values from one form to another form

    Hi All,
    I am using oracle forms 10g.
    I have created two forms. First form named as Hotel reservation req and second form named as Hotel Res Summary.
    I the first form i have one field named Requisition_number and I have one button and when i press the button in the first form the summary form is called and it need to bring all the data regarding that requisition_number in first form.
    I have written a query in when button pressed Like this
    declare
    :Global.V_REQ_NO := :XXMBHOTRESREQ_DB.REQUISITION_NO
    type r_cursor is ref cursor;
    c_XXMBHIS r_cursor;
    V_xxmbht XXMB_DOMHTRS_REQ%rowtype;
    begin
    open c_xxmbhis for select * from XXMB_DOMHTRS_REQ where requisition_number=:Global.V_REQ_NO
    loop
    fetch c_xxmbhis into v_xxmbht;
    exit when c_xxmbhis%notfound;
    --dbms_output.put_line (V_XXMBHT.REQUISITION_NUMBER);
    end loop;
    close c_XXMBHIS;
    end;
    And how to refer this to the calling form.
    But now the form is opening and record is not querying can any one correct me where i went wrong.
    Thanks & Regards

    I the first form i have one field named Requisition_number and I have one button and when i press the button in the first form the summary form is called and it need to bring all the data regarding that requisition_number in first form.If more than 1/4 of your Forms will need the REQUISITION_NUMBER then using a GLOBAL variable makes scense. However, if it is only your Hotel Reservation and Hotel Res Summary forms that will use the REQUISITION_NUMBER then use a Parameter List instead. Global variables are always of type CHAR so you could encounter conversion errors if you don't explicitly cast the value to the correct data type. Parameter object can be of type CHAR, NUMBER and DATE and offer greater flexibility. If you need an example of how to use a parameter list, open the Forms Help system, go to the Search tab and search on "Creating a Parameter List." This article give a brief overview and a list of all the built-ins associated with Parameter Lists. You will need to create a Parameter object in your Hotel Req Summary form to catch the parameter passed via the Parameter List. Then you will need to write code to do something with the value passed (usually in the When-New-Form-Instance trigger).
