I’m reaching a bit on this question, but this is one of the best communities for wireless and the vendor we are using does not have anything like this.
We have a licensed PtP link on a tower along with 4 450M radios. Said PtP link was rock solid for a year and then suddenly dropped all traffic. No network changes and we ran through every avenue of potential interference. It was acting simply as a passthrough with a switch on either side and we have about five provider VLANs plus mgmt vlan that pass through it. It has inband management. If we peel every provider vlan off of the switch at the bottom we can gain management access, but as soon as we start adding provider vlans/traffic onto the PtP it drops off. We were so frustrated with this we actually put up another brand of unlicensed PtP and basically abandoned this nice licensed link we had.
We’ve run round and round with the manufacturer and feel we’ve exhausted everything. We changed management vlans, but the one we were originally using is used network wide and we would know if there was any type of broadcast storm/loop going on. Same thing with our provider VLANs, it would be very evident if there were a storm/loop going on because it would affect other parts of the network. They want us to go out of band management, but that is not how our network is designed and we would have to figure out equipment to be able to do this and just haven’t made that step since it is a mountain top.
Finally to my question… could bad grounding cause something like this? A loss of management when the PtP is loaded up with traffic. Our guys are great about installing, but I don’t know enough about the whole process to really know if this could be a symptom.
