Re: Weird Ethernet broadcast issue.
That sound plausible, I just Don't see what could be causing it, i only have 15 Devices 20 Max on the network and these are rated for 8000 MACs. When I first noticed I re-stared the whole LAN it didn't help. If Switch A (The Switch that has the MACs in question attached to it) sent that Broadcast to Switch B but B All ready had the MAC as Connected to the port going to A wouldn't B stop it right there? |

| There are not many MAC addresses in this trace. If you look you will see there are only a few that are used for non-broadcast traffic:
10.0.1.1 - is a 3Com NIC (00:26:54:13:dc:0a)
10.0.1.12 is an Asustek NIC (00:0e:a6:9d:d0:4c)
ALL other traffic is PPPoE traffic which uses the same Cisco MAC address (00:17:e0:bd:28:38).
It looks like the PPPoE/PPP adapter uses multiple IP addresses, but the same MAC address. |

| If you notice it all traffic destined TO (well internet via NAT) 10.0.1.3 -00:03:ff:60:c3:56, pppoe adapter (via PPPoE from the DSL Modem Bridge which is the Cisco MAC) - 00:03:ff:63:c3:56 (PPPoE Adapter is hooked to the switch with the DSL modem, and yes there is a reason) and 10.0.0.1 - 00:03:ff:62:c3:56, those are the MACs/IPs of a MS Virtual PC 2007 with m0n0wall running, m0n0wall has 3 vNics attached to 1 port of the server running MS V PC (If you think about it's like having a 5 port switch with 1 hooked to the server 3 to a m0n0wall and 1 back to the 16 port)
p.s.: These switches as I said before are dumb no management. |
