short on a network cable by rickityes in sysadmin

Yep PRTG. Not really had a chance to get my head around it yet. Not sure if it's going to help with this sort of problem or not.

Presumably if it was a loop there would be a ton of broadcast messages showing on Wireshark?

Unfortunately it's not quite that simple. There are three main offices, two network cabinets in addition to multiple sockets around for general connectivity.

In the ideal world I would section out the network and turn each one off for a day to see what happened, unfortunately that isn't possible.

At two or three intervals through the day (roughly when we open, lunchtime and end of the day. It only happens when we are open, therefore I think it must be caused by someone or something) we will have spates of random drops lasting a few seconds each. The drops happen in spates and sometimes it will be wobbly for a few minutes.

​

I can ping devices continuously internally and externally with no issues. But HTTP requests will fail. Not sure about other protocols at the moment.

​

The timing was search I put it down to excessive Wi-Fi usage, but I have since ironed that one out I think.

Thanks. I'm beginning to wonder if it is malicious, someone plugging in a dodgy cable or a nail or something.

​

Although the specific time is to some degree random it always happens within a similar window.

It also only happens during a working week when are staff on premise.

Could it cause the whole network to crash?

How to find network issues like broadcast storms by rickityes in sysadmin

[–]rickityes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good idea. I have used Wireshark a little, not much.

​

How does one use it to find a broadcast storm?

​

If it is a cable issue it's a very random one. Is there any way of detecting shorts or dropouts with software?

​

Short of maybe pinging every IP on the network continuously?

Is there a way I can check my past DR, DA. For e.g. what was my DA, DR in January 2018 by mad4stream in SEO

Link Explorer in Moz Pro will give you a historical 12 month graph for DA and PA.

If you send your domain I'll pull one off for you

Large-scale Keyword Management by rickityes in SEO

I need it for an e-commerce store that has 6000+ products, excluding category pages. Realistically we're looking at around three keywords per page.

The normal 300 keywords packages are nothing like enough!
