N4032F possible issues with routing

Hi There,

not sure maybe somebody saw same issue or not... We moved our default gateway from firewall to N4032F stacked switch, configured bunch Vlan-s etc (just companies merging and need another, bigger network infrastructure). We created transit network between FW and switch configured and default route created (i am not sure, any difference between this commands: ip default gateway x.x.x.x and ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is internal interface of FW). i use - ip default gateway

Everything works, but its not stable, ping from internal resources to outside stops working and run again  randomly, also weird situation, ping outside doesnt work, but after i try to ping interfaces of FW, ping starts again... very weird. 

Switches fully updated, latest firmware installed.

It can be problem with firewall (Watchguard) but unfortunately i dont manage it (i already opened support case), but i would like to be confident that switches are Ok. Communication inside switches, between VLANs works fine, no issues at all.

 

thanks

    Hello sergo8888,

     

    You may be correct that it is related to Watchguard. 

    Were they able to give you any information?

     

    Have you tried  tracert  to troubleshoot?

     

    If they say the Watchguard is ok and you would like me to review the switch you can run:

     

    show tech-support

     

    You can use something like Putty to collect the output to a text document.

     

    Upload the results here : https://upload.dell.com/  under the service tag of the switch.

    Then Private Message me the service tag number so I can retrieve the report.

    My apologies. That could easily be read wrong. I'm advising you to change cables and see if you are still facing the same. The best way is if you have warranty that you create IT Ticket in techsupport for further level analysis.

    The above said port flaps found in the switch and change cable and see how it is. Please upgrade to the latest version firmware on the switch. That's why the connectivity is not stable in your network.
