    Nortel Passport 8010 and Multicasting

    To get things working, why not create a VLAN on your server for each subnet you need to Ghost to. Most Server NICs -except Apple- support VLAN trunking these days. It works for us. Cheers, Ewan.

    PP 8600 Error

    This can be a pain./ We have had some genuine server generated traffic hit this threshold -10Kpps- they were Ghosting a lab full of dumb client machines. If your problem is caused by genuine traffic -and not miss-configuration loops, then you can soft set the threshold to 9Kpps. This will stop...

    looking for unused ports

    Why not use device manager? You can look at the port status or stats for a complete stack of 450s in a single hit. We swear by OSM 2.0 The VLAN manager function is great and you can quickly see miss-configs and also cretae new VLANs across and entire Campus without visiting every switch...

We get more failures on our Cisco wireless LAN, where we have 10 WAPs. I do agree that out-of-box failures show poor QC...

    Port mirroring in BPS 2000 stack

    Regarding the PP86000 port mirroring. Nortel had to respin the OCTAPID and RATORU ASICS to allow Ingress and Egress port mirroring. This is now available on host cards with E on the end, ie 8616GTE.

    Passport 8600 Gig port shuts down with excess control frames

    Stuey, I've seen this problem caused by:- Simultaneous Ghosting of multiple work stations, config error and physical loop back -self inflicted, testing a port. The best bet is to put a threshold on, we use the maximum configurable value, and just to be anal, set a corresponding threshold to...
