Morning all,
After some ideas, suggestions with a problem we have here at work.
We currently have a long range point to point wireless link running at 1Gb with a backup of 100Mb, both these links plug into one of our Extreme switch stacks.
Switch > Fibre Converter > Fibre > Fibre Converter > Cat 5 > Antenna then reverse on the other site and that is the same for both links.
Now only one port should be active on the switch, however we believe both ports became active and caused a mini-broadcast storm creating large packet loss on our network. Shutting down one of the ports resolved the issue, on our network we use EAPS rather than spanning tree.
We are talking to the people who supplied our wireless link about options, but wondering what the OCUK guys can think of.
Ideally want to have one connection from the switch to a box where both wireless links are plugged in and that handles the failover from the 1Gb link to the 100Mb link, but not sure what kind of box is best for this.
So over to you lot, for suggestions, ideas, questions etc
Cheers
Kimbie
