Hi Guys,
In my network I have Cisco 4503 L3 switch as a gateway and number of
Cisco 3506G,Cisco 2948G,Cisco2950 with multiple VLANs configured on it which
have uplinks from Cisco 4503 switch. We are software development
organization so we have multiple OS running on workstations.
The problem I am facing that all the m/cs with the Linux OS running on it,
After connecting the m/c in the n/w or if reboot the m/c already in
the n/w it takes long time to connect to the n/w. So I checked the
connectivity by pinging the gateway it gives "Destination Unreachable"
or you won't get any response, like m/c is in hang state, after almost
20 to 30 mins. it starts giving reply. It happens to all the m/c with
Linux OS in the n/w. After start getting response it works perfectly ok
unless an until you reboot the m/c or restart the network services.
On the same n/w points if I connect any windows OS m/c it works fine.
It happens only with Linux m/cs.
Will anybody suggest or help me to figure out the problem
Thanks

Hi Sanjay,
how linux machines are getting IP address. Is it static or DHCP ?
If DHCP, is the server windows or linux based ?
Could be linux PCs are taking time to obtain IP from server ?

All m/cs have static IPs.We do not have DHCP server.

Hi Sanjay
I had one day a similar problem (I don?t know if it is the same, but it could help), the only difference was that I used Win NT instead. It seems that the NIC (Network Card) doesn?t feel good with the 802.1q protocol (VLAN). All computers with different OS didn?t have any problem but with WinNT it was a nightmare!! so I update the diver of the NIC and the problem was solved (I never knew why, but it worked). As I said, I don?t know, but you can try.
