      wow - that looks like a nightmare! Subnets all over the place.

      You have no idea. There are roughly 12 subnets just in our location. We have 14 locations total on a MPLS and those sites still run on /16 192 addresses but are slotted to be converted.

      You have 14 /16 networks?

      As the ASA's for the other locations are still sitting in out office I am not sure how they are configured yet or what their scope is going to be.

        Also, why has using /16 networking come up twice this weekend? I've gone years without hearing of someone trying something like this and suddenly, twice in a weekend?

        Why is the SAN bigger than a /26? Why so many addresses for something that should have so few?

        The move from a /24 to /16 was due to a "MSP" claiming flattening out the network would solve vlan issues that were occurring.

        A /16 is worlds beyond flattening. Flattening is /22 maybe a /21. But what you are showing isn't in the scope of that flattening, these networks are all over the place and can't be covered by a /16.

        I am aware of that. This was all decided long before I came on board. Yet I am tasked with identifying the issues and as you can see there are plenty.

        Right, but the SAN hasn't been flattened. The flattened network is somewhere else.

        This is what the "MSP" has identified as flattening. All the 172 addressing is new.

        so the 172.20.200.x and 172.20.201.x are now flattened.. but why where they separate in the first place?

        How are they flattened? They are tiny.

        they are flattened because they no longer require a router to talk to any address, the fact that there is a HUGE collision domain doesn't really matter from a flatness POV. But yeah, that was crazy, a /21 would have solved it, without a calculator, I don't know if a /22 would have.

          They believe that is best practice for failover.

          FFS /sigh

          We also have a 172.30 as well.......

          That won't be part of the 'new' flat network...

            They DO require a router, they are small at just /24 and unflattened. So to talk to each other, they have to route.

              It's the only one from what I can tell. In the images provided, that's the only /16 that I noticed.

                  Now that we've determined that there is a huge networking issues. Do you guys thing the Event ID 5120 issue is a connection issue to the SAN loosing connectivity and the cluster going into an auto pause scenario?

                    No, that's what I keep saying, they UNflattened it into loads of networks, one is a /16, all the others are /24.

                        A /16 is worlds beyond flattening. Flattening is /22 maybe a /21. But what you are showing isn't in the scope of that flattening, these networks are all over the place and can't be covered by a /16.

                        I am aware of that. This was all decided long before I came on board. Yet I am tasked with identifying the issues and as you can see there are plenty.

                        Right, but the SAN hasn't been flattened. The flattened network is somewhere else.

                        This is what the "MSP" has identified as flattening. All the 172 addressing is new.

                        so the 172.20.200.x and 172.20.201.x are now flattened.. but why where they separate in the first place?

                        How are they flattened? They are tiny.

                        they are flattened because they no longer require a router to talk to any address, the fact that there is a HUGE collision domain doesn't really matter from a flatness POV. But yeah, that was crazy, a /21 would have solved it, without a calculator, I don't know if a /22 would have.

                        They DO require a router, they are small at just /24 and unflattened. So to talk to each other, they have to route.

                        I thought he said they flatted the SAN network into a /16?

                        No, that's what I keep saying, they UNflattened it into loads of networks, one is a /16, all the others are /24.

                        I stand corrected, I just looked again and saw the /16 only on the 172.30.x.x network, as you said... yeah the 172.20 networks do require a router.

                          Why is the SAN bigger than a /26? Why so many addresses for something that should have so few?

                          The move from a /24 to /16 was due to a "MSP" claiming flattening out the network would solve vlan issues that were occurring.

                          This is what the "MSP" considered flattening compared to the old /24 with VLANs.

                          Removing networks is flattening, whether they are physical LANs or VLANs, all the same thing. The term is generally used to mean merging multiple networks into one. But there are so many networks here, what was merged?

                                  I am aware of that. This was all decided long before I came on board. Yet I am tasked with identifying the issues and as you can see there are plenty.

                                  Right, but the SAN hasn't been flattened. The flattened network is somewhere else.

                                  This is what the "MSP" has identified as flattening. All the 172 addressing is new.

                                  so the 172.20.200.x and 172.20.201.x are now flattened.. but why where they separate in the first place?

                                  How are they flattened? They are tiny.

                                  they are flattened because they no longer require a router to talk to any address, the fact that there is a HUGE collision domain doesn't really matter from a flatness POV. But yeah, that was crazy, a /21 would have solved it, without a calculator, I don't know if a /22 would have.

                                  They DO require a router, they are small at just /24 and unflattened. So to talk to each other, they have to route.

                                  I thought he said they flatted the SAN network into a /16?

                                  This is what the "MSP" considered flattening compared to the old /24 with VLANs.

                                  They didn't consider it that, they just lied.

                                  The lying thing is very common for this vendor.

                                  time to fire them and find another support channel.

                                    Now that we've determined that there is a huge networking issues. Do you guys thing the Event ID 5120 issue is a connection issue to the SAN loosing connectivity and the cluster going into an auto pause scenario?

                                    No reason to think so. I can't imagine how the weird networking would be related to an IO issue like that.

                                        Also, why has using /16 networking come up twice this weekend? I've gone years without hearing of someone trying something like this and suddenly, twice in a weekend?

                                        Why is the SAN bigger than a /26? Why so many addresses for something that should have so few?

                                        The move from a /24 to /16 was due to a "MSP" claiming flattening out the network would solve vlan issues that were occurring.

                                        A /16 is worlds beyond flattening. Flattening is /22 maybe a /21. But what you are showing isn't in the scope of that flattening, these networks are all over the place and can't be covered by a /16.

                                          There is always something that you can do. Just report it. State the facts. Bring it to the attention of the people in charge. Let them decide what to do. Explain that you are curtailed by the lies and incompetence and that you aren't being allowed to fix obvious problems and that the work ordered hasn't been done. Let them decide if they care that they have an enemy in their midst or not.
