Hi Neale
no - all IP routing only.
Strange thing; we think we have found the problem. One of the unix based
terminal servers maybe sending loads of arp requests or something like that. If
the unit is unplugged from the hub, then all is fine, after a few minuets of
being plugged in, ms ping's go up to 1500ms
although arp storms are a bad thing, the max should be able to handle them -
even when this effect is happening, utilisation of the ethernet segment in
mention is only running 10% utilisation.
