Auto discovery of clients on Vlan fails

Hi,

 

Auto discovery of client is not working in VLAN. If a client is added using Direct method with its IP address, it works & client gets added to the server database. However, if multicast or subnet broadcast method is used to discover clients, no client is found & discovery dialog box seems to take very long time without any client detection. "Auto add clients" option is enabled in the Preferences menu on Retrospect server.

 

Please help.

Is this backup server using multiple network interfaces? Retrospect can have a problem with that as well. In our experience using direct IP, though cumbersome, is often more reliable.

 

Heck, we even had a new 3Com 48 ports network switch (all 1 Gigabit) that interfered. It proved to be an (unresolved) bug in the switch. We replaced it with a twice as expensive HP Procurve and it worked again... So your mileage may vary.
