Re: (ASCEND) TNT 100meg Flooding a Network




 FYI,

 When I first deployed TNT's I ran them into 3COM Super-Stacks, Basically
to sum things up, the switches either could handle the traffic or just
didn't like the traffic, Sometimes they would all blink in unison as to
be doing some weird mating blink fest. I had Ascend on site for several
weeks and we could figure out why this was happening, I ended up just
purchasing a CAT 5000 and I haven't seen the problem since.
