Hello to all. I didn't know if I should of posted this anywhere else so I decided to just put it in general discussion if you don't mind.

I've got a problem with a network that my friend told me about and he can't seem to find what's wrong with it. Basically he's got quite a few computers hooked up in a network in an office on some Switches. And all the switches are showing trafic at the exact same time with the lights flashing simultaniously non-stop. But the thing is everything still works fine. So I was wondering if any of you guys could give me a hand with this.

I don't quite understand... What is your question?

Do you mean the switches are showing a lot of traffic, but no activity is really taking place between the PCs on the network?

Switch config, number of stations, WAN connectivity could all be factors.....I'm a little rusty on my Layer 1/2/3 switching, and protocols. Maybe a few more details would help, and someone with a bit more experience could provide some feedback.

Install ethereal and sniff the switch.
