I thought that was standard operating procedure for the systems guys to blame the network? :) On Jun 17, 2014, at 1:59 PM, Morgan McLean wrote: > If I had a dollar for every time the systems guys changed something and > then cried to neteng... :) > > Thanks, > Morgan > > > On Mon, Jun 16, 2

This all turned out to be a false alarm. Someone on the server team had changed the configuration on all the servers such that they were ignoring RAs from the MX960. Everyone thought the EX4550 wasn't passing the RAs because the filter they used to catch them wasn't apparently catching them. The co

Hi, It won't help you i fear but i did see exactly the same defect on some other concurrent platform (cisco 3560G). With the latest IOS software (15.x) a 3560G unit in L3 mode does correctly send RA and reply to RS, but the same unit in L2 mode between a router and a server fail to deliver RA/RS

This does seem to be specific to RA/RS. I haven't been involved in troubleshooting over the weekend but the updates I read said that they took some packet captures of RA messages from the Cisco 7600 that the switch used to be connected to and compared them with captures taken from the MX960.

I was paged to take a look at an interesting problem this morning. We have an MX960 connected to an EX4550 via a trunk carrying multiple VLANs. The EX4550 is, in turn, connected to a second switch. I don't recall what model. The second switch used to be connected to something else and was moved ov
