Hi All, Please excuse my ignorance if the answer to this question is easy: We've had a couple of times now in our school campus where a member of staff accidentally picks up a UTP cable and plugs it back into a switch not knowing that it is already plugged into the same switch in another port. So a loopback was created. As a result of this, our entire network goes crazy effectively rendering it useless until the loopback connection is unplugged. My aim is to be able to detect via ntop the port on the main managed switch which is exhibiting the huge excessive broadcasts which result from this loopback. From this port I can track down the location of the loopback. Last time we had this problem I was on leave and the entire campus network was down for 1 whole day. I had to come back from leave and track down where the loopback was.
Any help would be appreciated. thanks sam _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list Ntop@unipi.it http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
