Hello, all!
I am an RF guy that is in the middle of some network issues. I have configured a number of Wilibox based APs and Clients in bridge configuration to connect a number of remote locations.
We used Cisco 3560 switches in the system at each remote site – they are configured with some basic routing to allow each segment to be on it’s own subnet. I am now officially out of my domain when talking about this stuff – sorry.
I am seeing some very strange routing issues – packets that should be heading to one location in the network are being sent to the wrong leg of the network. Repeated pings with tracerout show the odd packet tries to get to it’s final location via a switch that is not even close to the path it should be on.
Ok, without knowing the switch configs and the network topology, you guys are probably a bit too much in the dark. The network has a couple of 3560’s in the center of a hub of 2 to 4 wireless ‘spokes’. These 2 hubs are connected via wireless. One hub is also connected via a wireless leg to the internet and a number of servers using a Cisco 2811 and an ASA.
Does anyone have any advice as to what to look for either in the Cisco configs or any suggestions for any packet sniffing that would help us find out why the odd packet (and in the past, it seemed to be session based) will get routed to the wrong leg of the network?
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. I do not discount the radios doing something goofy, or the switches being misconfigured – I just need some advice on troubleshooting!
Thanks in advance, Brian
