We recently purchased a new building (Bldg B) next door to our existing
building (Bldg A). We had the cable run between the two buildings and
connected to our core switch (Cisco 4006). We also have 4 vlans for the 12
floors in Bldg A. We initially wanted to create a new vlan for Bldg B, but
that didn't work out for some reason. So, we just added them to the
existing vlan that services the first 3 floors of Bldg A.
However, the users in Bldg B are having network problems that get worse as
the day goes on. They cannot always connect to the Exchange server or our
main file server (Netware 4.11). The consultants who did all the switch and
vlan work cannot seem to figure out what's wrong. They used the same
configs that are being used in Bldg A (which work fine) and according to
what they tell us, everything's in place and we shouldn't have any problems.
We are.
At any rate, I was wondering if any of you have done something similar or
have had a similar problem and could possibly shed some light on this for
us.
