Problems with ping dropped packets

Hello Experts,

 

I've recently encountered a strange problem where the ping node drops packets (about 10-20%) when gtm1 is active, but when gtm1 is in standby, the ping node doesn't drop any packets.

gtm2 works fine in both active and standby states, no packets are dropped!

Does anyone have any experience with this?

 

Here is my structure



Thanks

  • The only thing I can glean from this setup is the trunk links between Po27 & SW6FA4-Internet1....   Could the ping traffic that's experiencing drops be hashed to a particular link in the port channel? *** Do during maintenance window *** if possible, disable one link between gtm1 & SW6FA4-Internet1.  monitor ping loss, restore then disable the other link.  You could have the traffic hashed onto one of the links in the port channel and its possible a bad patch.
