OS9700 sends IP parasite traffic to the network
Posted: 01 Apr 2016 16:18
Hi. I hope you can help me with this issue.
It happens that in the network one distribution switch OS9700 was sending traffic from IP 10.1.0.32 to the network as broadcast. This IP belongs to the omnivista client, but we made a packet capture and found that even with this omnivista client disconnected from the network the OS9700 kept sending traffic from IP 10.1.0.32. To solve this issue we decided to reload the switch. Curiously the command "reload working no rollback-timeout" didn't work, so we used "reload all" and once the switch loaded this traffic disappeared. I wanted to open a SR with Alcatel, but this switch has no warranty.
I hope you can give me an idea of what could have caused this issue.
The code of the switch is 6.4.3.893.R01, and there isn't any .pmd or crash after the reload.
