Answer question
Not possible to ping controllers from engineering station when two systems are connected to the smae control netwok
Hi Stefan,
We have two systems connected to the same control network as follows: (seperate system networks)
1- Old system SV 5.1 FP4 Rev.D via connectivity servers
2- New system SV 6.0.3-2 connected via new RNRP Routers.
When the two systems connected to the same control networks
- Not possible to ping controllers from old engineering station but possible from connectivity servers (controllers are showing up from engineering and connectivity on the old RNRP monitor), see attachment
- Possible to ping controllers from the new engineering station in the new system as normal.
When disconnect the new RNRP routers from the control network, I was able to ping the controllers from the old engineering stations.
Some practical data:
1- We have not changed the IP addresses in the new system (same system IP as the old one) but we did change domain name in the new system, therefore we have the same network area name for both systems.
2- Tries trace route from old engineering station and it seems ping stopped at the old connectivity server, see attached snip
3- IGMP is disabled on network switches/RNRP routers.
4-We are running parallel operation for a short period of time (some hours)
I would apprtiate your suggestions to overcome the issue....
