dessaudj Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 I have a user here at the University of Cincinnati that is using Retrospect for network backup of faculty/staff computers. The server can muticast find to find client within the same subnet as the server. It can not discover clients in any other subnet. He has the server configured to discover in other subnet but it does not find them. F.Y.I. We have Cisco CAT6500 with Sup1a at the distribution layer. He can place the users IP of the device from another subnet onto the server and it does work but over time the number of client could increase thus adding additional server administration. Is there anyone I can speak with to troubleshoot this issue. Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonm Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Anyone out there actually got Subnet Broadcast to work. I'm able to use the WINS name to backup windows machine across different subnets, but can't use WINS name on OS X Clients. I'm using Retrospect 7 Multi Server.

natew Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hi It works well for me. Do your switches forward broadcasts between subnets? Thanks nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
affa Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hi, Do you have to use broadcast? I use multicast here across subnets and vlans and it works great. you need the following configs in the cisco box: ip multicast-routing and for each subnet/vlan interface, first they must be routable, and: ip pim sparse-dense-mode its pretty light on network overhead too if you let the cisco box do igmp snooping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
