Intermittent Connectivity In The Islands (Like the TV Show LOST) open original image

We're experiencing intermittent connectivity issues. We put in a Linksys firewall in our network and everyone seemed all okay except one subnet cannot get to the Internet. From that remote site's Cisco 2621 router it's only getting 2/5 ping replies to our "Internet" Cisco router (to the inside-interface). We've already changed the cables. That subnet's router and all the clients are able to ping the Linksys firewall's address, which I'm confused because they are sitting on the same switch and the same subnet.



(Remote Lan)-> LAN->Firewall x.x.x.61 ->Internet Router x.x.x.57->Internet


From the corporate LAN, I can ping everywhere and the clients can

resolve FQDN, etc. From the remote lan, I can always ping x.x.x.61, but not the .57. Can someone point me in the right direction?


Mahalo,

p.s. just wanted to put something cute in the subject. i've been on the phone w/ Cisco tech support.



Hi Sarah,

If you're consistently getting 2 out of five plus maybe 3/5 if repeated but not 0/5,1/5,4/5 or 5/5 you may have a routing problem, a router thinking there are 2 paths but one of these two is a black hole.

Luck, and if you're already talking to TAC they should sort it out fairly quickly.

(dirty trick in some older IOS releases for 2600 : disable CEF and try again)
