Hello,
I am having a weird packet loss issue that I can't figure out. I have an access point that is setup as follows:
My Servers/Network -----> Ubiquiti Bridge (AP) -----> Ubiquiti Bridge (Client) ----> RB450 (As Switch) -----> Ubiquiti AP
Every morning for the past week, I have woken up to 70 to 80% packet loss to the RB450. At the same time I do not have packet loss to either of the Ubiquiti Bridges. Pinging through the RB450 to the AP also has the same packet loss as when I ping the RB450 its self. When I have been able to login to the RB450 and reboot it, things start getting better. For good measure I have been rebooting the Bridges and the AP after I reboot the RB450. After I complete this process, it will run fine all day long until tomorrow morning when it goes to junk again.
I do have a pretty big bridged network on the "My Servers/Network" side of it. Is it possible that the RB450 is getting it's mac-table full and then crashing it?
The RB450 is from factory mode (Default configuration script was ran) but I have turned off DHCP and I am not using Port 1 for WAN. Rather just using the bridged ports. I looked through the default configs and couldn't see anything that would cause grief. I could be wrong and for good measure I am going to factory reset and reprogram it today.
Let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks,

Re: Problem with RB/450 and packetloss
Is there packetloss between the 450 and the client?
How many entries are in your ARP table when it starts having problems?
If you only reboot the 450 and nothing else, do the problems go away for awhile?
Is it a consistent amount of time before the problems start up again, and how many devices are all bridged together?

Yes there is packet loss, what I don't understand is that one client radio does not have packet loss. But 2 others do.

Yes, once I reboot, problems seem to end. I have a reboot script on it now to deal with it.
Is it a consistent amount of time before the problems start up again, and how many devices are all bridged together?
It is consistent amount of time, about every 24 hours. I have a total of 16 bridged devices on the same vlan.
