FYI: moving the IP Address ranges off the BMU to another in the mirror group makes all the difference in the world. The snmp monitoring croaks out the NX216 somewhere over 200mb
We are clean pushing up to 300mb across this one tonite after moving a few hundred ip ranges off. we are going to bring up another old retired BMU with nothing more than IP access to the network and move all ip ranges to that as nothing more than an snmp probe to get us through til the mikrotik implemenetaion is full production while we review out long term options. BTW powercode was pretty responsive today and very frank on the underlying issues and the long term solutions. I was satisfied with what they had to say because it fully explained what was going on. didn't have a today fix, but the root cause was acknowleged On Tue, Sep 26, 2017 at 11:28 AM, Steve Jones <thatoneguyst...@gmail.com> wrote: > just got off the phone with them, it looks promising, resolves some major > limitations.
