>>773 No, it is not DDOS, there is a loop in the network. It was a very big switch that crashed, wish several hundred servers connected to it. These servers have all been plugged into ports on different switches. This has made a lot of network confusion that has to be addressed individually. The core network is fully redundant, but the edge switches are not.
This is what the switch looks like. http://images.yourdictionary.com/images/computer/_L3SWIT.GIF It is a powerful one, but it failed completely. There are many servers connected to it. They are all reconnected but there are some problems that are being worked on even now.
>>791 I think the translation you made is backwards. The edge switch failed. The core switches are genki, and supported. Actually the core switches are Force 10 switches, and the Force 10 company came to our site and helped us, even though the problem was the Black Diamond. We only use the Extreme equipment at the edge level now. Thank you very much for the great support from Force 10 by the way.
