we are in process of moving to new network equipment. on our old 6500 we had the vlans terminated and made a trunk between the old and new 6500 switch.
This weekend we removed all vlans from the old switch and reconfigured the with same configuration on the new switch.
We have the VLM configured as 2-armed with one arm in the routing network and 1 arm in the server network. servers that is used for loadbalancing have default gateway to VLM IP.
This worked as a charm before the move. After the network move we now experience up to 20% packet loss when accessing from any remote office when pinging ip addresses assigned to virtual services or servers with gateway to VLM.
after some tests and reboot of the VLMs we tried to change the default gateway of the VLM to one of the VPN routers in the routing network and then the packet loss was gone. very strange. changing it back to the 6500 gateway, the packet loss is back.
I cannot pinpoint this to the VLM, more likely to the 6500 switch but does any one had any similar issue?
