Re: new 5406zl switches - heavy packet loss
The one thing that springs to my mind is IP issues - doublecheck that subnet masks are identical, no double interfaces with double default gws on the server etc. Do you do routing or just L2 connection?

Re: new 5406zl switches - heavy packet loss
The ip addresses the switches have is the same as the old switches. Also, we're not using L3 functionality at all (no routing). Only L2 being used.
As for "double default gws on the server", it happens to many servers (mixed physical & VMware) etc.
Thanks for your input.

Re: new 5406zl switches - heavy packet loss
One more thing; the problem only occurs on the local LAN or so it seems. If I ping the same ip address from a routed network (eg. our DMZ), the ping always gets a response (no nat).
However, having said that, on the same internal LAN, while I get a response from one PC, I don't get a response from another.

Re: new 5406zl switches - heavy packet loss
Something else very interesting.... when I clear the arp cache on the server side, it starts to work, but not for long:

You need to track down 00-e0-b6-06-ef-6a and fix the conflict.

Re: new 5406zl switches - heavy packet loss
I just noticed that myself. Will track it down and hopefully resolve the connectivity issues to the other servers too.
