<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>Hello
Fabian,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><BR><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>first of all I checked whether
there are rx or tx errors on the common links (2 BD8810), result: no
errors</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>Then I checked the
common links with all possible commands like "sh eaps counters shared-port 4:8".
Result: <BR>On all EAPS-Domains are only Rx-Seg-Health and tX-Seg-Health
packets. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>In addition the
global counters for EAPS Shared-Ports are all null.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>The command "sh
eaps counters global" shows maybe some interesting things:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT color=#0000ff size=2
face=Arial>"Rx-Invalid-Vlan-Intf : 73" and
"Rx-Lif-Invalid : 5"
<BR>"Rx-Invalid-Vlan-Intf : 150" and
"Rx-Lif-Invalid :
88"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>But I don't know
how to interpret these counters.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>Furthermore I
compared again the eaps configurations but there seems to be no
misconfiguration. Also EpiCenter <BR>reports only that some vlans are not
protected, but they are! It has something to do with case-sensitve, how you are
writing the names of the vlans, like "PB4" or "pb".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>It seems more that
something is teasing or targeting the cpu on the masters. But there are 3
EAPS-Rings that doesn't have that problem.<BR>Two of them have nothing to do
with the investigated common links, and there is not the named vlan
"stammhaus<SPAN class=455041311-29092010>" on them.</SPAN><BR>But 1 EAPS-Master
doesn't report any problems, he seems to be unimpressed even though the vlan
"stammhaus" is configured on that switch, too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>Any further ideas,
suggestions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>Regards,
mikeld</FONT></DIV><BR>
