Very true, as long as you're not using Motorola
Canopy. We also used routing to break up the broadcast domains.
Problem using Motorola Canopy is that an AP Site with up to 6APs are
bridged within the Motorola site equipment (CMM) and we continued having
storms within a site (between multiple offending customer CPE served from the
same site) even after adding a router at each site. With non-Motorola APs
you can do a better job and block CPE-CPE traffic within the same AP and
independently feed each AP from a site router.

Ron,
Are you seeing icmp to other IP's that are
unreachable along with the icmp to 0.0.0.0 ?
I have seen this in the past and looked like it
was coming from a linksys router. I suspected the router was randomly replying
to other's IP's, basically causing loops. To isolate I had to disable
different AP's to discover which AP it was originating from, then acl each
client until I could isolate to a client, long process in between network
hangs. The last time this happened to me 90% of my network was bridged. Now I
am 90% routed and have not seen the problem

It is probably
peer to peer traffic. That can take a network down very quickly. You will
have to hunt down which user is hammering your network. Probably
BitTorrent traffic if I were guessing.

To all,
I am having a network storm, the
first. All activity light
switches on the wireless net are flashing like crazy, both at the data
center and customer sites, may not mean much, but it has not happened
before. There is a huge
amount of traffic on the canopy sys. Others have discussed an ICMP
storm w/ a (0.0.0.0) address that comes from Linksys & Netgear
routers. There are about 20
on my net, of 90 users.
I am a know-nothing at this, and
really a hardware/RF guy.
Not familiar with Ethereal or other SW that monitors the
net. What are you all
using? Where do I get
it? What are your thoughts
and advice?
Any help or advice you could offer would
be greatly appreciated. I'll do whatever you all
advise.
