[WISPA] I NEED HELP
This has been a very long day, after a lightning storm we started to have towers randomly drop for 2-10 minutes with no consistency as to where, how how long. The tower that was affected by last nights lightning restarted (locally) so that wasn't it. The outages were so extensive that at one time we had 17 devices down and five minutes later 65 devices down, 10 minutes later 33, so you see where this is coming from. I went to the head end and rebooted everything from the core router on out., changed passwords on the core in case it had been compromised but show run didn't reveal anything. Oh the other thing, every computer we have started to say IP address is in use on the network, no matter what we changed it to, even a subnet we don't yet use it said it was in use. I had to repair my connection often just to do work on the network and it would work for a while then again say duplicate IP. That's why I'm convinced it's traffic. I started turning Towers back on one at a time and for about 6 towers there were no drops, I drove to the next junction site to turn more on but by then the original 6 were dropping, I turned the rest of them on but by now it's 11PM so traffic was probably lower as it's Sat. Night. Honestly I don't know what to do, Our Backhauls are all Mikrotik to our 12 towers, WireShark isn't seeing anything unusual, I have icmp packet drop in the filters. My weekend is basically ruined, what's new in this business, but if anyone has ideas I've talked to two networking gurus in town and they both said geez I don't know you wireless guys have way bigger networks than we do. sigh.

Re: [WISPA] I NEED HELP
Forbes, Can you give me a little more info on the setup of your network? Are you layer 2 throughout your backhauls and tower sites? I have seen OSPF flapping causing some weird issues on layer 3 networks. If you look at the routers in the tower site, do you see anything in the log as to what is going on? Experience says it is the first site that is having issues that is causing issues behind it.

Re: [WISPA] I NEED HELP
Thanks Eric, We run a 2811 Cisco core router that feeds a Vyatta server for handing out private static and public addresses which runs into a Mikrotik bandwidth unit then over six backhauls to various towers from our head end. Six towers relay to the next tower down. We have about 70 Public IP addresses that go to various locations but a majority are in the 10.80 type of addressing. Does anyone know when you put the filter for icmp in a Mikrotik router Firewall under action do you accept or drop under action and then forward under the chain? Thanks for your help its day 2 and I have 35 devices down, wait now it's 19, wait now it's 44, I hate this!

Re: [WISPA] I NEED HELP
Are they really down, or can you just not get to them? That is, are the customers calling that they are down? Do you use dynamic routing such as RIP or OSPF? If so, I would suspect something is making them drop and reestablish routes. Accept and drop do what they say for traffic destined for the router so you want them on the Input chain to protect the router they are on. The forward chain impacts only traffic the router sends on to somewhere else.

Re: [WISPA] I NEED HELP
If it is bridged a single router plugged in backwords can bring down the whole network. Some 750¹s would be a good fix.When I had HighGain Aps as bridges we would run into this problem as well.

Re: [WISPA] I NEED HELP
Wow very interesting hypothesis since it happened right after a lightning storm with heavy rain. Trouble is I shut off all six backhauls and started turning them on one by one until I had a IP conflict warning then turned that one off, the IP conflict happened again, yes I did arp -d to clear the bouncing out of it but then it happened on a different tower, I just can't seem to find it and yes we're way too large to be bridged, that was our summer project to become routed but that doesn't help today. It's a great idea but I have 54 AP's so I don't know where to start.

Typically a dumb switch on the network goes bad, and causing arp problems. Now ... the hard part... how to find which device is causing the problem? Some ideas: 1) Try pinging a device on your network that you know is working fine. If you can't reach it, then good! Now immediately dump your arp table and look for the mac address of the ip you are trying to ping. This mac might be the bad device. Or at least it might point in the right direction (if you're doing proxy-arp on some of your links then the bad device may be located on the other side of this mac). 2) Start up wireshark (or tcpdump) and watch the arp packets. Look for a mac address which show up a lot. Dump your arp table and see what ip addresses match this mac address. Look for arp table entries which have the same mac, which is not normal (unless you're doing proxy-arp). Doing this may give some clues. If you have many different types of devices on your network, use one of the mac lookup tools to find out what kind of device it is, given the mac address: http://www.coffer.com/mac_find This might help narrow down the device. 3) Watch the stats on the radios to see which clients or radio links have high packet counts. If there is an arp storm, this may help you narrow down which client is causing the storm. (ideally do it at a time when your network is normally quiet, like early morning) 4) Focus on sites where you have dumb switches installed. I find these dumb switches often go berserk when zapped. 5) Focus on sites that have had problems in past storms. Chances are higher that they are causing your current problem. (in my case these sites are the ones which don't have shielded cat5 or are poorly grounded) 6) If your network covers a large geographical area and the storm was localized then focus on looking for the bad device in the area where the storm hit hard. Good luck. John On 8/1/2010 11:09 AM, Kurt Fankhauser wrote: Forbes, I remember seeing something similar to this on the list a few months back.

Re: [WISPA] I NEED HELP
Hey whoever forwarded my issue to Brett thanks, he pointed out how to isolate individual bridges with WireShark. I did that and found the tower, it's too late today but having that tower down brought the rest of the system back up. As Marlon said so will you be routed tomorrow? Well maybe not tomorrow but the switchover from Bridged to Routed is about my highest priority now. I missed a great summer weekend chasing this down and all of you helped me tremendously.
