Sge2000 just doesn't route in a sane manner

I have 3 vlans on a standalone SGE2000 in Layer 3 mode. VLAN 1 for servers, VLAN2 for workstation and VLAN100 for management. All the servers in VLAN1 can see and talk to one another. Router for internet is also connected to VLAN1. All servers have internet access like expected.
I only have a single machine in the Workstation VLAN for testing right now. It can access some of the servers but not all. It can also access the internet properly, but certain servers it just won't talk to.
Now this is the weird part. If I move the workstation over to the management VLAN and change it's IP address accordingly, it will begin to talk to the other servers it would not talk to before. But then it won't talk to the internet router which is in the same VLAN as the servers.
The servers it can't access though are using other advanced features or unique scenarios. One is a file server with 4 ports aggregated with LACP. The LAG group is in the proper VLAN and the other servers can access this so I'm pretty sure that is all built properly.
The other servers it can't access are VM's on ESX 3.5. There is no VLAN tagging going on in the ESX server. All VM's attach to the same interface on the physical server and are in the same subnet as the management IP of the ESX server. My test workstation in the other VLAN can load the web management for the ESX server, but can't contact any of the VM's. Again, these VM's are in the same subnet and bound to the same interface as the Web management that can be accessed.
Without changing any other port configurations, if I move the workstation to the same VLAN as the servers, it can access everything without issue.
It would seem that's there's some sort of bugginess in the way the switch selectively routes for certain IP's and certain VLANS.
I have no ACLS in place, all ports in all VLANS are set to access mode. None of the machines have software firewalls. The switch itself can ping all machines in question in all VLANS. All machines use their respective switch vlan interface IP as their default gateway. Switch has default route pointed at router in VLAN1.
I'm pretty convinced at this point that the firmware in the switch is buggy.
If no one has any ideas, my next step is to start sniffing traffic destined for the port of the ESX server and see if packets from the workstation arrive there at all. That's the closest way I can figure to determine if the switch is even trying to forward packets from the other VLAN to the VM's.
If that doesn't reveal anything, my only resort appears to be to sell my wife's car and buy a Cisco.

Kinda weird problem you got there. Have you tried re-flashing the firmware?

  • I've just changed my router and whilst my laptops sync ok, my G4 tower which connects via an airport express doesn't connect to the internet. I think it's something to do with the IP or DHCP settings but have had no success, any help much appreciated.

    Hi Jake,
    Is it connecting to the Router or Modem?
    Is the new Router using maybe WPA2 encryption? If so, G4s can only do WPA or less.

  • L2TP on Cisco ASA 5505, just doesn't work??!

    This is pretty urgent, client expects me to have this up by lunch today
    So, there is this Cisco ASA 5505 ver 8.4.
    Most things work but now I want to setup a vpn connection...
    I have done this 2 ways, first by using the "VPN Wizard" in ASDM and then 5 hours later removing everything and configuring from cli.
    And it just doesn't work, client (WinXP & Win7) gets "error 792" and sometimes "error 789" (both indicating problem with phase 1, I'm pretty sure of that)
    Googling on those gives a few suggestions none works.
    All I get in the log on Cisco is the "Error processing payload: Payload ID: 1"
    Googling on that only comes up with a few pages telling me this message is caused by an error. (Yeah, I could never have guessed...)
    For the cli config, I followed this tutorial carefully (3 times actually...)
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/secu...html#wp1117464
    I'm using PSK for IPSec, entered same on Cisco and client - checked several times, this is not a password/PSK issue.
    Ports opened on Cisco: 500, 1701, 4500
    (For a try I opened all ports, no change.)

  • AMD / CPA on ICM 6 just doesn't work, HELP!!

    We're running IPCCE 6 (with IP IVR QMANAGER) with Outbound Option configured with 10 ports. Our calls go out via PRIs.
    We have several IVR outbound campaigns (Transfer to IVR Campaign = checked
    Enable IP AMD = checked
    Transfer to IVR Route Point = checked
    Terminate Tone detect = checked
    TDM Fast Voice Detect = checked )
    and our dialer just doesn't know when is an answering machine picking up.
    I've tested it by calling into an analog line I have in the office hooked up to an answering machine and success rate was 20%.
    Are there any registry settings I can tweak to improve it?

    There are Call Progress Analysis settings in 7.0 and they are described in the Outbound User Guide for 7.0 on page 3-15. It mentions that silence supression must not be engaged, so the dial peers should have "no vad". Then look at the table 3-1 for CPAJitterBufferDelay, CPAActiveThreshold, CPAAnalysisPeriod etc.
    I am not sure what's in 6.0 so you would have to check.

    Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds.

  • I just want the router I have been promised?

    On (or around) the 9th July my Homehub router stopped giving me broadband.
    I tried all the tests on the BT website, but that green light just wouldn't come on. I called on support 11th July who did a line check then told me they would send me a replacement router within 48 hours. 72 hours later I called back to get an update, only to find no such order for a replacement had been raised!
    The Agent order me a new one there and then. When that hadn't arrived (21st July) I called again to get an update, to find that the Homehub order was "pending". The Agent repeated that that they would send me a new router, and it would be with me on Monday 25th July.
    I haven't recieved it, and don't want to speak to another agent who has to apologise profusely and then order something that just doesn't turn up. I am so very very frustrated, that I can't speak to someone who can resolve my problem.
    To add insult to injury my original case has been marked as "resolved" - argh!
    Can someone please tell / advise me on how to get this issue sorted out? I will not call and agent again, they don't do anything. Why can't BT sort this out?
    Can anyone offer help?

    If there is no loading bar, it's usually a problem with a third party kext file in OS X itself.
    You can press the power button down to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this will disable them and you go around and update your third party software.
    Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
    Also take this time to backup your users files off the machine if possible.

    I was a happy Time Machine (with Time Capsule) user for months. But it just doesn't work anymore. It takes longer than an hour to do every hourly backup so it is backing up 24 hours a day. It finds hundreds of thousands of files changed every hour and tries to back them up. Finders says only tens of files have been modified all of today. I have tried rebuilding my spotlight indexes, repairing my Time Capsule with Disk Utility and starting over with a brand new backup. But it just backs up hundreds of thousands of files every hour. So I am turning off Time capsule since it is clearly broken. If anyone has any suggestions at all I would welcome them.

    Marcia,
    Consider the following, it might give you some ideas:
    Time Machine performs backups at the file level. If a single bit in a large file is changed, the WHOLE file is backed up again. This is a problem for programs that save data to monolithic virtual disk files that are modified frequently. These include Parallels, VMware Fusion, Aperture vaults, or the databases that Entourage and Thunderbird create. These should be excluded from backup using the Time Machine Preference Exclusion list. You will, however, need to backup these files manually to another external disk.
    One poster observed regarding Photoshop: “If you find yourself working with large files, you may discover that TM is suddenly backing up your scratch disk's temp files. This is useless, find out how to exclude these (I'm not actually sure here). Alternatively, turn off TM whilst you work in Photoshop.” (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1209412)
    If you do a lot of movie editing, unless these files are excluded, expect Time Machine to treat revised versions of a single movie as entirely new files.
    If you frequently download software or video files that you only expect to keep for a short time, consider excluding the folder these are stored in from Time Machine backups.
    If you have recently created a new disk image or burned a DVD, Time Machine will target these files for backup unless they are deleted or excluded from backup.
    Installing new software, upgrading existing software, or updating Mac OS X system software can created major changes in the structure of your directories. Time Machine will backup every file that has changed since the installation.
    Files or folders that are simply moved or renamed are counted as NEW files or folders. If you rename any file or folder, Time Machine will back up the ENTIRE file or folder again no matter how big or small it is.
    George Schreyer describes this behavior: “If you should want to do some massive rearrangement of your disk, Time Machine will interpret the rearranged files as new files and back them up again in their new locations. Just renaming a folder will cause this to happen. This is OK if you've got lots of room on your backup disk. Eventually, Time Machine will thin those backups and the space consumed will be recovered. However, if you really want recover the space in the backup volume immediately, you can. To do this, bring a Finder window to the front and then click the Time Machine icon on the dock. This will activate the Time Machine user interface. Navigate back in time to where the old stuff exists and select it. Then pull down the "action" menu (the gear thing) and select "delete all backups" and the older stuff vanishes.” (http://www.girr.org/mac_stuff/backups.html)
    *TechTool Pro Directory Protection*
    This disk utility feature creates backup copies of your system directories. Obviously these directories are changing all the time. So, depending on how it is configured, these backup files will be changing as well which is interpreted by Time Machine as new data to backup. Excluding the folder these backups are stored in will eliminate this effect.
    *Backups WAY Too Large*
    If an initial full backup or subsequent incremental backup is tens or hundreds of Gigs larger than expected, check to see that all unwanted external hard disks are still excluded from Time Machine backups.
    This includes the Time Machine backup drive ITSELF. Normally, Time Machine is set to exclude itself by default. But on rare occasions it can forget. When your backup begins, Time Machine mounts the backup on your desktop. (For Time Capsule users it appears as a white drive icon labeled something like “Backup of (your computer)”.) If, while it is mounted, it does not show up in the Time Machine Prefs “Do not back up” list, then Time Machine will attempt to back ITSELF up. If it is not listed while the drive is mounted, then you need to add it to the list.
    *FileVault / Boot Camp / iDisk Syncing*
    Note: Leopard has changed the way it deals with FileVault disk images, so it is not necessary to exclude your Home folder if you have FileVault activated. Additionally, Time Machine ignores Boot Camp partitions as the manner in which they are formatted is incompatible. Finally, if you have your iDisk Synced to your desktop, it is not necessary to exclude the disk image file it creates as that has been changed to a sparsebundle as well in Leopard.
    Let us know if any of this helps.
    Cheers!

  • It just doesn't work and help is needed, hence why I'm on a Forum? Brownie points for whoever can help on this one...

    So. As always, it's about iTunes - as Apple is the most inconvenient corporation ever founded. Anyway! I've had this problem for about 6 months and haven't bothered to ask anyone. I've restored the computer numerous times and tried to fix the issue with help from other nonsensical forums. The problem is that 'apple mobile device service' is eating up a large amount of CPU, and therefore tends to make the computer run like a log. I have uninstalled it before but then iTunes won't recognize my iPod - funnily enough. As well as this, iTunes won't connect to the store? However, it doesn't say it's not, it just doesn't load. It states that it is 'accessing iTunes store', but it's not. I'm running all of this on a windows 7 Acer extensa 5235 - just in case that helps. It probably won't, but you guys are clever, right? I mean, I could probably ask you to peel an orange for me, and you'd do it without even physically touching it. Just with the power of your omnipotent minds. Anyway yeah, if anyone can help on this one, would be much appreciated.

    Wow what a rambling mess and complete waste of time.
    Did you try a search of the forums for similar issues?  Doing so would have revealed multiple similar issues with valid troubleshooting, saved you time, and saved those that have read that crap from being subject to your rambling psychosis.
    FYI, in the future, get to the point and cut the crap when asking for help.
    Oh, completely uninstall iTunes and reinstall the current version of iTunes.

I have been watching the Rachael Maddow video podcast for at least a month with no problems. Now suddenly it won't download the last nights show. I have read and followed all troubleshoot and cannot find a solution. I have unsubscribed and re-subscribed to no avail. Can someone help me with this problem?

    And now that my contract has expired, I have some options.  Last weekend, I called Verizon again threatening to leave.  The representative offered the same $75 rebate that was offered to me 6 months earlier.  I even offered up one of my device upgrades in place of a network extender, but that deal was knocked down.  And so now I’m left with the option to make a public spectacle out of this scenario and hope Verizon takes notice.  Failing that, I’ll be forced to leave Verizon behind.
    I don't understand. If having service in your home IS important to you and you already know Verizon's policy, why have you not instead started to search for carriers which cover your home? It seems a pretty easy decision to me, at least.

  • Hi, can I move my iTunes library to an external hardrive without having to consolidate it as my prehistoric computer just doesn't have the space even though I have deleted everything possible to make room? Please help :(

    Hi, can I move my iTunes library to an external drive without having to consolidate it as my prehistoric computer just doesn't have enough space even though I have deleted everything possible to make room? Please help

    Hi, do you know if this works if I then want to move my library to a new computer as that is my main intention bacause my old computer hasn't got enough space for me to add new albums so I want to ditch the computer (its got to be about 100 years old and doesn't seem to cope well with modern technology!!) and start using my laptop for my iTunes. I am at the point now where i'm ready to throw both my computer and iPod out the window!!!! I might point out as well that in trying to clear space on my computer I accidently deleted the Bonjour programme which is aparently needed to use the home share option, oops!!!!
    Thanks, Kerry

  • Is there a way to fix an iPod touch 4G home button that isn't stuck but just doesn't work?

    A couple weeks ago my home button got stuck. To fix it I found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBfhCmq9VkA&list=WL429346A18D0B1E65 to help me out. The second option of using the charger ended up working, thus making the button work again. It was working fine after doing that but then it got stuck down again and I had to put the charger in and do that again. However, all of a sudden the home button just doesn't work anymore. It's not even stuck all the way down. I can press it repeatedly but still nothing.
    I've had the iPod for about 6 months now and got it off of amazon refurbished so warranty is out of the question i'm sure. If it really is broken with no way to fix it then that's fine as i've been using assitive touch for weeks now and am used to it since i've been using it egulary since there's no other way. I just wanted to ask and make sure first before anything else though.

  • My Apple TV Gen 1 just doesn't work

    Hello,
    I have setup/reset/setup this device so many times it just drives me crazy. I honestly believe that this technology just doesn't work.
    I have an iMac running the most up to date version of OS X 10.6.5, I have the latest version of iTunes, 10.1.1. I'm using the Airport Extreme.
    I have followed the directions to the letter!
    Please help!
    Thanks,

    I have a number of movies, etc on my pc but to make things easier, i just opted to a custom sync, display only those items i have selected, and chose 3 movies only.
    I can see them on my tv, but when i select play, i always get an error indicating that this device is not authorized to play the content. I have deauthorized/authorized my pc many times.
    I'm thinking about just dumping all my apple products and just stick with a microsoft based pc.

    I am having the SAME issue. Just bought the Apple TV 1st Gen. from AppleStore, then followed the instructions to the letter. I am using iMac 10.5.8, Airport Extreme Base Station, AppleTV, and I have the most up-to-date iTunes and also made sure AppleTV is up to date. I get the same stupid error messages indicating the device is not authorized. Called Apple (no)Support, and was walked through restarting all my devices (like I didn't already try this, but just to make 'em happy, did it again...), didn't resolve the issue. "Steve" was like "...hmm, that shouldn't be doing that..." Really, dude? Maybe that's why I called you. Thanks for your time. Hope you guys enjoy my money I gave you.
    Anyone have any ideas? I am about to pack this thing up and send it back. When I purchase ALL Apple products that are advertised as being able to just plug and go, it should freakin' work.

    It would really help if you were a little more specific about what isn't working. Also try debugging your application in highlighted execution with probes to find out exactly what data you're sending out the port.
