Hey all,
The DHCP issues that have been plauging the UCC network have now been
fixed. The problem was bitumen was treating all network ports as possible
links to other switches and attemting a STP handshake on them and hence
wouldn't pass traffic for a good 30s or so. This meant that when a link
came back up (either by a reboot or the cable being dislodged) no traffic
would flow, and hence the DHCP requests weren't seen by murasoi.
Portfast has now been enabled by default on all non-trunk ports, save for
a few that had issues with it (heathred being one, which is why it went
down earlier this evening)
tl;dr - Network works again, netboot and wireless should just connect
quite nicely (and now works better than Unifi again)
