Just curious but are these PtP links and if so what driver mode are you using? TDD or ePTP
Anyone run into an issue on 5.10.0 that if you change the ethernet speed advertisements of an SM connected to an AP that the SM will disconnect from the and will not reconnect? The SM gives an āSM maximum retries exhaustedā message on the Monitor-Wireless section and the only way to get the SM to reconnect is to either reboot the SM or force an AP rescan.
5.10 TCP Throughput is lower about 8-10% than on 5.9.2 on ePMP3000 PMP, Force300-25 PTP, Force 4625 PTP. Test was made on the desk and also in the air using iperf3 packets size 1500 bytes and 500 bytes, 4 paraller streams. Iām writing about this as upgrade from 4.8.1 on ePMP3000 give us a positive difference in throughput. Any body can confirm this ??
Iāve been having similar issues with ātraffic dropsā for 1-3 minutes seemingly randomly on my 4600c PTP link for months. Not sure if you found anything else out here? Iād be interested if you found anything to fix this. Iām even still on 5.9.2, but has been happening I think since 5.9.0 at least.
So far, Iāve had some pretty bad experiences with this firmware. I updated a few of our F425 ePTP links and we deployed a new F4525L ePTP link and the pings were horrendous. Even to the interface from the router they were wild ranging from 0ms to 400ms. Even worse accross the link. I downgraded to 5.9.1 and the pings were fantastic. Donāt trust this FW release.
Hi @James_Burch ,
we have already published 5.10.1-RC14 that resolves many known issues.
Especially for 4525L. Could you try it and PM techsupport files after WLT from AP and SM?
Which driver mode do you use?
I am experiencing certain 4525 SMs being dropped by the 4500 AP. Uptime is good, showing 7 days but have some SMs showing 1hr online time, 10 min online time and 5 min online time. Anyone see this happening?
5.10.1 stable is going to be released here hopefully in the next day or so. You should update to this release and if youāre still having issues, then open a ticket.
Sometimes sessions drops can be caused by interference. You might want to try a different channel and/or channel width, or even try the new asymmetric uplink channel width feature to see if you can reduce or eliminate the session drops.
Thank you for your reply, I will update and go from there. Have had this 4500 running since October of last year and did not encounter this before, running 40mhz since then as well. We are rural but I will still utilize the asymmetric uplink and see what happens. Do you have that enabled in your deployments? Did it bring stability and better performance?
No, we do not have it enabled as its use case is very situational. Read the comments in that link I included for more details on what conditions operators use it on and their experiences.
