I'm having a hard time with my DELL 6224 switch.
This switch is the center node of my network, trunking between other switches, VLANs and routing packets.
The network traffic that it's been handled is pretty low, about 20% of its total capacity. However it's presenting a strange behaviour.
Ex:
A------S------B.
A=PC
S=Dell 6224
B=PC
When I ping A->B or B->A everything works flawlessly. But when I ping A->S or B->S, no matter what VLANs, the switch does not respond to the pings requests as it was supposed to do. Some ping replys have high latencies times and timeouts, like if it was suffering from overload traffic or if it's not prioritizing ICMP traffic directed to it.
Is this behaviour normal? Doesn't seems to be, at least for me.
Thanks in advance!
