I have a situation where I had to disable/enable a number of copper ge ports connected to streaming video encoders in order to restore operation. Even unplugging/reconnecting the Cat6 cable would work.
A configuration setting caused the switch ports connected to video encoders to stop passing traffic for them. I rolled back the setting, layer 3 connectivity was still good, ae and irb interfaces were up and good, lacp stats were good, but I couldn't ping the encoders connected to the switch. After troubleshooting for more hours than I care to admit, I asked the customer to try rebooting one of the encoders just to see what happens and reachability (ping/http) was immediately restored. I tested another one by physically disconnecting/reconnecting on of the ports' cat6 cable and connectivity was fully restored for that device. Still no connectivity to the rest of the encoders (just to be sure) so we just bounced all the ports and connectivity was immediately restored to each one as they were disabled/reenabled.
Does anyone know if this issue is indicative of any particular configuration mismatch? The config is pretty standard - each encoder port was a member of the appropriate vlan and storm-control is set to default. VSTP is active on the uplink trunks (to a Cisco) but I don't think that would have anything to do with the non-VSTP encoder ports. Any help appreciated.
