<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">There are nearly all EAPS-Master from 24 EAPS-Rings affected. My investigations shows the following:</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">All the eaps-rings have no configuration errors. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">There are no rx- or tx-errors on the uplinks. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Network performance is not affected. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It must be a certain vlan from which the interference comes, this vlan is known. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It happens only on weekdays and during office hours </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have no details found with wireshark, but I'm not an expert with wireshark </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I found some references about IPv6 neighbor discovery protocol, there are some W7 PCs in that vlan. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">My guess is that something teases the cpu of the eaps-masters but how can I catch that thing?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Does anyone have a suggestion how I can get this under control with EW or XOS or wireshark or anything else?</FONT>
