I'm in need of some help. I have a group of switches that are all dropping connections. More specifically everything "pauses" if you're accessing it remotely.
One of the techs said one of the switches was getting "pause" frames due to too much traffic, but nothing's changed this week. All of the sudden every 12 hours things are getting worse.
Starting Monday all of the sudden traffic went up slightly across all interfaces on all switches. It seems every port is using the same bandwidth at times (where they would typically vary, they all sometimes say 1 megabit/second or 2-3 megabit/second). It started with just one application being affected, and has now grown to our entire network being effected. Seems to get worse as these days go on. Like something is flooding the switches? We can't narrow it down.
It was just losing remote desktop connections before, but now we're seeing anywhere from 4-10 ports drop off between switches now (only 4 switches total).
example - One of them is really bad - may replace this switch tonight:
Switch - ending in .53
G8(.53) - Dropped 86 packets
G12(.53) - Dropped 217 packets
G13(.53) - Dropped 196099 packets
G15(.53) - Dropped 1474853 packets
G17(.53) - Dropped 27 packets
G18(.53) - Dropped 13282 packets
G19(.53) - Dropped 7462 packets
G20(.53) - Dropped 50441 packets
G22(.53) - 113 Collions, no drops
G23(.53) - 127 collions, no drops
G24(.53) - Dropped 2658296 packets (uplink)
Stats on all the other ones are actually looking OK, no drops/collisions.
Anyone seen madness like this before?
