We have been troubleshooting an odd issue on our network for sometime and have not found the root cause. We have a software package that loses connection from the client to the server. It seems to happen to different people at different times. We have a pretty flat network that we are going to be redoing as soon as our datacenter is redesign for power, etc. Right now all clients pass through vlan 100 at our main site and our remote sites. Some servers are in vlan 100 and some vlan168. we have aprox 2,000 clients and many servers. I am wondering if the root of the problem could be vlan 100 and having way too much in it. Here is a sample output of vlan 100 on our 6509 with a sup1a.Let me know if you have any ideas or need more info.
