Hi all,
Just came across a problem that was easy to fix and thought everyone
should know about it.
We had a couple of backhaul links that were having some strange issues,
dropping lots of packets on all interfaces and then mysteriously
stopping or requiring a reboot to get back into operation. We recently
upgraded our WAR boards with V3 to build 2080 and turned on OSPF routing
on the backhauls in question. The problem started to happen after the
upgrades, and I was suspecting that the OSPF was part of the problem.
Anyway, some troubleshooting turned up that connection tracking was
turned on. I don't know if it was already on or not in our
configuration, but we do not have any need for it to be turned on in our
backhaul radios so we turned it off. Since turning it off, the flaky
connections became absolutely rock solid and the OSPF routing seems to
be working fine.
I hope this saves someone else the pain and suffering that we just went
through for the past week!
