CS1K, MGC Dual Homing

[g111]

Has anyone out there experienced problems with MGC Dual Homing causing switch loops? If so what was the outcome.

Thanks g111

YES! I don't know if I am glad to hear that we are not the only one or not...Avaya/Nortel TAC has an open case for us. Have you had any resolution?

Please describe the problems you are experiencing. We just started to do dual homing and I would like to know what to be on the lookout for.
Thank You.

During the upgrade install, we noticed one of our TLAN and ELAN ports (same XPEC) had created a Loop in our LAN switches. We analyzed and deduced that a cable was reversed on the I/O ports (or so we rationalized). However, last week, after the system had been runnng for two weeks, it happened again, this time out of the blue. Due to an unfortunate issue with the XML file and security domains,our call server had completely collapsed with all gateways incapable of registering. (BTW - more patches coming on that one) Avaya was in pulling logs and we pointed out the switch loops that were occurring and they stated they had not seen it before. So, finding this note was refreshing because there might be a glimmer of thought that our LAN infrastructure is actually configured and working properly. Avaya is trying to recreate in the lab.
