Cisco2600 Ethernet port keeps broadcasting

richardtoh · ‎01-16-2003

What could cause this to happen? The ethernet port is broadcasting to all IP's constantly.

Please advise.

Please upload your config.

Does your config have a line that says:

service config

This will cause the router to try and find a TFTP server to download configuration files from. Remove that line and it will stop.

richardtoh · ‎01-17-2003

No such line exist.

Richard,

We'll need more information in order to assit you with this problem. Cabn you post the router's config?

The fist thing I noticed is that your acls need to be changed

currently you have these as your final three lines:

access-list 101 permit ip any any

access-list 101 permit tcp m.n.p.0 0.0.0.255 eq telnet any

access-list 101 deny tcp any any eq telnet

Once a packet hits the permit any any statement, no other lines will be processed. Just a quick housekeeping note.

Are you using a sniffer to identify the broadcasts? How frequent are the broadcasts? I need a little more information about the broadcast to help you. I don't see anything in the config that would create broadcasts.

Yes. Quite frequently as a matter of fact. We are suspecting a defective component. How can this be verified?

7rbowenii · ‎01-21-2003

What are the broadcasts? What is the destination address? What does the packet contain? What information can you provide regarding the broadcast? I can only guess at what the broadcast is unless you provide more information via a sniffer or using netmon...
