That is about the best way to do it. Biggest thing is to find which tower its happening on.
If you have the ability to subnet / segment towers into different ranges - This helps a great deal. In short - you can have each sector or backhaul to other towers on their own segment - so the entire network does not go down but rather 1 leg. If your using a good switch - enable STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) and voila - the rest of your network is saved. NOW ... IMPORTANT ... If your equipment (and UBNT Does) all supports STP - turn it on. If you have a few legs to the network all under 1 segment - (ie - you use a backhaul to a remote location and then tree out from there) one section or branch of the tree might shut off - but everyone else would stay live. Really handy on a long summer weekend for sure. It simply tells you what direction to head :-) On Aug 9, 2010, at 11:27 AM, Forbes Mercy wrote: > Ron, > > I'm not really sure if you're asking about what I looked for in WireShark or > just where is WireShark?
