Righto, state of the nation, everything seems to be relatively calm, so it's time to get out the blame stick. IHUG, you're leaking IPX, stop it please. In fact, what does that second MAC address (0050.0fb7.e04a) do, and can I block it? IHUG, Quest, and especially Netgate, you're leaking spanning tree, stop it already. It looks like Telecom have some crazy spanning tree loop stuff going on on their network that is leaking onto APE, and I'd really, really like it to stop. Anybody else who has a spanning tree capable device and hasn't disabled spanning tree on any APE facing interfaces, please do so. Immediately. ASAP. Right now. You can do the same with CDP, while you're at it :-). The Quest port is currently shutdown, all other ports (including the Tangent port) are up. I have been upping and downing various ports on the switch while faultfinding (Mercury, Clear, Netgate, Xtra), so it's possible that you've had some short outages. My apologies for that, but it was unavoidable. I trust that it's all come right now - if not, please get in touch. Cheers Si On Thu, 24 May 2001, J S Russell wrote:

There appears to be a strong relationship between broadcast storm levels and whether port 17 on the APE switch is shutdown or not. If it's shutdown, there's no storm, if it's enabled, there's so much traffic on APE that I can't telnet from the route server to the 3524. Port 17 appears to be Tangent/Attica, so conclude from that what you will.
We've already brought this to Tangent's attention - they're investigating currently, we're expecting results by early afternoon.

It's this that's bizarre. clix to asiaonline? Callplus/Attica transit international and domestic data via clix, but we have no relationship with AOL to my knowledge.
Pesky Network Gnomes.
Needless to say, we will not be bringing our ape link up again until Tangent can assure us/Citilink that all is well.
