Just re-done my network topology and moved my CSS610 (running 2.14) from one closet to another about 1.5 m away.
Initial setup was like this:
Code: Select all
hAP ac3 (ether5) -------(forced PoE)------> CSS610 (ether1)
Recently I purchased a CRS112-8P-4S (running ROS 7.1.1) and changed my setup to something like this:
Code: Select all
hAP ac3 (ether5) ---------> CRS112 (ether2) -------( forced PoE )-------> CSS610 (ether1)
What's the deal with all the detected cable problems? Shorts and opens?! I was running slim cat6A cables between the switches (~2m long) and between CSS610 and some IoT devices (up to 50 cm long), but even after replacing them with some solid S/FTP cable, the reported issues didn't go away. There are no errors reported on the error tab of CSS610, nor in CRS112 on the ether2 port. Running a cable test on CRS' ether2 port reveals no problems ("link-ok"). All cables are quality patch cables, nothing "home made".
Other than the reported cable issues in the web interface, I don't see any problems communicating with the connected devices, but i'll perform some more thorough tests.
What's could be the deal? The only problem I could think of is the proximity of the ethernet cables in CSS610 to mains power cables and/or to the power supplies of the IoT devices, but the distances are relatively small (2m max)
EDIT: removed PoE for CSS610 and used its original power supply. Same status.
