On occasion I have three switches in the same location that I can not ping or access from multiple Vlans\PCs. Users on those switches continue to have access to our network (internet, data drives). We use InterMapper to monitor our switches and it shows the switches as down. However if I log into a different switch I can ping the down switches. Once I ping them from inside that switch I can then ping the down switches from a Windows command prompt and InterMapper shows the the switches as Up.
Can anyone explain this behavior?
