VSP and ERS Network challenge

[Klenan]

Hello,

so i have a VSP from which i have setup a few VLANs onto stacked ERSs on a number of floors, i can reach all switches on the network and almost all the VLANs are fine; but i have two main issues:

1. The IPTv VLAN has been acting up lately; the server has been connected to a port on a dedicated ERSs switch having the same VLAN. A few days ago, i noticed only the TV connected to that same switch is working fine while the rest can’t communicate with the server; the client called lastnight to mention it was back to normal only to call again this morning that TVs are no longer communicating.
2. I have also noticed all the lights on the switches are blinking really fast especially the fiber uplink ones some of which are even amber in color.

Hi Mig,

So another contractor handled the IPTV and insisted on deploying their own IPs on the VLAN so i just fed their devices onto that VLAN. So yes they are sitting in the same VLAN

Hi Kleenan,

Are the multicast client and servers in the same VLAN?

Hello Mig,

please find the image attached as requested. Plus the multicast server is the IPTV one. The IPTV network is on VLAN 40 and running on 192.168.100.0/24

Kleenan,

Is it ERS48xx or ERS49xx series?

Kleenan,

Could you share a topology diagram showing the switches, where the multicast server and clients are connected? We would also need the VLAN’s and subnets used.

I will then check on a production network with FC+multicast to share the parameters using IGMP.
