HI,
We have replaced the SFPs on both switches about twice so far. The problem
still persists nevertheless.
Frederick had suggested seeing my interface configs. They are as below:
3750
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/26
no switchport
ip address 10.5.50.2 255.255.255.0
ip ospf authentication message-digest
ip ospf message-digest-key 3 md5 7 0216054818
storm-control broadcast level 5.00
storm-control multicast level 5.00
end
6509
interface GigabitEthernet4/1
ip address 10.5.50.1 255.255.255.0
ip ospf authentication message-digest
ip ospf message-digest-key 3 md5 7 095C4F1A0A
end
And thanks Marcus for your suggestion on Cisco-NSP. Would follow up with
that too.
Regards,
Felix
