Coral - Nothing has changed on the NEC side, only a new Firewall on the network.
Further testing is showing a spike to the IPLB when sending constant pings, every 10-20 seconds. We removed the cat6 feed cable from the NEC, we've replaced it with a new CAT6 patch cord that runs from the IPLB directly to the switch, no feed in between but same spikes. We moved the patch cord from one switch and connected it to another, same spikes.
We've also noticed that the NEC will only connect at 100/half duplpex, even if we set 10-12-11 to 100/full, 10-12-11 was set to AUTO.
I've setup another system on the customers LAN and when we send pings to it, there are no spikes. On the second system we've connected, we have the original IPLA that was originally removed for th new IPLB, and it connects at 1GB?!?! We are going to enable the 10 Day free license and upload the current database to the new CPU this evening and test tomorrow. This could be a bad CPU and not an issue with the new firewall. I'll keep you posted.
