Strange drops

We have a customer with a phone switchboard application that periodically freezes, either at an application level (can't click anything), or it just won't show incoming calls. In both cases it can sometimes unfreeze, and then all the calls that have come in in the meantime suddenly flash on the screen. We've ruled out AV as the cause and are now looking into the problem being at the network layer.

drop-packet-capture shows this at the time of freezing:

then the same again exactly 2 minutes later (even the checksum is the same)

The connection came good another minute later.

Any idea where to look next?

thanks

  • Hi,

    I've just found this article as I'm suffering the exact same issue with STAT on our XG310 running the latest 17.1 firmware. So it seems the STAT issue is still existing and hasn't been fixed.

    Like others here, I have no User based rules but have been getting strange drop outs of connections and turning STAT off fixes them.

     

    However we had STAT switched on so that the XG could identify users and assist with tracking traffic to users and without STAT turned on the UTQ doesn't appear to report anything.

    Is there another option I can switch on to identify users and get the UTQ working, without causing the dropouts?

     

    I have also got a support ticket opened #8082675 (since a few days after we purchased the device, and nobody in support seemed to be able to help or know about the issue!)

  • Hi Matthew,

    The issue still exists, although on our unit it is not as bad as it was after setting the system auth cta unauth-traffic drop-period to 0. Still though, some of our traffic goes through a layer 3 switch for routing to prevent this from causing issues with intervlan routing. From what I am told from product management, in 17.2 there will be the option to turn off the learning period completely which will prevent this from happening. I was originally told maybe July for 17.2 but with 17.1 being so delayed, I bet we won't see 17.2 until October.

  • Hi,

    Short question - i am not able to read everything sorry - Which facilities do you need with authentication, if you not using userbased policys?  

    I am aware of such a issue but most of the time, i am able to disable the STAS for this XG, because - as mentioned before - no authentication is needed. 

    Cheers
