Hi
there
Hope some kind soul
out there can help or point me in the right direction.
For the last month
or so our users have experienced a network failure about once per week.
Rebooting the main 48 port unmanaged switch (netgear) resolves the
problem.
I would like to
inspect what's going on at the switch to try and get to the bottom of the
failure. I've downloaded and installed ethereal, however, I have no idea
what I should be looking for in the log files. Can anyone
help?
At present we have
our W2K servers running on a copper gigabit switch, this switch is then
connected to the 48 port switch. Various other switches are downstream of
this switch.
I plan on hanging a
hub between a downstream switch and its uplink to the 48 port switch and then
using ethereal to analyse what's happening.
However, I've no
idea what I should be looking for! Can anyone help
please??
Thanks
BC
