M5300-52G3 and M5300-28GF3 traffic loss
Hi, I have a case open with Netgear about this but thought it worth asking here in case anyone has seen anything similar. I have an M5300-52G3 and an M5300-28GF3 linked as a remote stack via 10...
Hi Moby,
We did solve it in the end, but in one of those unsatisfactory sorts of ways where we still don't actually know the source of the problem or what actually fixed it.
The thing that seemed to cure it was to change the configuration to an alternate setting, then change it back to the original, which then worked when it hadn't before.
The specific changes were to make the AP's tag their own management traffic at source and mark their ports on the switches as tagged for that VLAN. This resulted in a completely unusable wifi setup; none of the APs could see anything else on the network other then itself. That being a disastrous attempt I reverted to having the AP's not tag their management traffic at source and the switch ports to untagged for that VLAN and hey presto, it worked.
So it went:
Config A: not really working but sometimes working
Config B: not working at all
Back to Config A: works flawlessly.
Totally bizarre.
In answer to your question about UDP traffic, it seemed to be just RADIUS traffic that was dropping.
