No problem! I’ll keep that in mind. I’m testing multicasting now.

I discovered a few things that could have been effecting multicasting performance. If this works, I’ll have to unicast most of the lab. Basically, we have some small low end consumer switches that some of these hosts are plugged in to. I had 4 hosts in that lab that are directly wired in to our smart switches (cisco). We did check to see if we had any packet loss during the previous multicast session and we did not and the cable checked out fine. So we’ll see.

One other feature that would be nice is when you check / un-check hosts from certain things, for instance groups, that it would recognize that as selecting the item. Right now you have to highlight the whole thing to select it.

Thanks!

/var/log/apache2/error.log?

What I am seeing is this… Yet I have tasks listed in tasks…

@tom-elliott

I agree. Less is more here. I like the idea of sort by associated first. That would certainly work.

Have you tested Multicast? I am testing that now. I get Attempted to check in failed.

Thanks!

I love the look and feel of the new interface. I can tell you and the group have put in a ton of effort in creating 1.6. Thank you!

One small thing I just noticed is the icon on the browser tab needs to be updated. Ha! I liked having the FOG icon to get to in my many open tabs. Small!

The next thing I noticed was when you open Groups/Associations/Hosts, it displays All hosts. It would be great if it showed just the hosts associated with the group with the option to display hosts that are not associated with the group. (like 1.5 did.) :-D

I’ll put it to the test!

Again thanks!!

Cheers!

I like the new look! Where can we post requests / bugs?

Thanks!

To update this issue… I had a network engineer look at this issue. He determined that we had our multicast setting set to flood all ports. So far disabling this has fixed the majority of our multicasting issues.

One thing we did notice is that we had one old switch going to one of our labs that seems to fail on multicast and not unicast. Multicast works everywhere else with that image. We will be replacing that switch at some point but I believe that switch is the culprit. It’s an older 10/100 “dumb” HP switch (commercial grade).

So far I have not experienced any other issues with that version of FOG.

Thanks again for all the help!

The only switches we have on campus now are Meraki or dumb switches. Most things are on Meraki’s. The vendor turned “port flooding” off. I’m going to check but I believe I’ll still have the issue. I do not think that’s it. I’ll post back as soon as I know.

@george1421
It is set like that for the default stack.
