How about I saw that in a DHCP scope, the def-gw being handed out was not in the same subnet as the scope subnet. That's bad, but everything was still working. Hmm. Just to be nice, fixed it, tested, everything still worked. Got a call 2 hours later, their IP telephony system is now having one-way voice. W.T.F! Changed the def-gw in the scope back, and the voice started working again. W:rolleyes:T:rolleyes:F:rolleyes:!!!

So yeah, tonight I'm roaching all the switches (HP ProCurves and Adtran NetVantas) and reconfiguring... and making sure the VLAN trunks between everything are *properly* working.

At least it's billable hours. :D^

proxy-arp.....oh my. Do they have that many MAC addresses on the network or just that badly designed?

ok sounds like a large network that is also badly designed :D

Not really that large, 150 end stations... just poorly designed and way improperly configured.

Hola Box!

Following up on my Fred Phelps comment the other night. There were no reports of him showing up for the military funeral so I'm assuming he was being a bl:rolleyes:w-hard.

The Patriot Guard Riders, however, showed up in force.^:D:-:

We have over 5000 MAC addresses now, but with proper subnetting/vlan/trunking etc when needed, it is not a huge deal, most of the MACs are virtual machines.

Scenario like that, I'd make the wan transit a layer 3 link, that way the macaddrs wouldn't be crossing the link... that would be an L2 broadcast domain from hell. ;)
