Not sure if this would be the best place to post. Here it goes,
Seeking advice for resolving an issue with my network. Had searched Wiki, no luck. Will utilize SBAR format to share my problem,
Subject: Switch/network crashing after about 3 weeks. All channel showing lost connection (both on Blue Iris and NVR). After unplugging switch and rebooting, a couple cameras will come on like. Requires removing dead channels, and reinstalling each camera into BI/NVR.
Background: System, 15 cameras (Lorex and Dahua) running into a 16 channel switch https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MQHD54L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . Running separate Cat5e cable into switch, then 2 Cat 7 cables running into a dedicated computer and DVR. Bit rate out of switch, 1385 MP/s.
Previously had switch crash after a couple moths of use. Sent back for a return. Posted on IPcam talk Need to switch my switch, recommendations?
Some suggested possible network (broadcast storm) or network loop issue.
Researching network issues, I believe it might be as suggested a network storm issue. Don’t even know where to start. There is mention about this issue might be cased by faulty equipment. Don’t think it could be a loop issue. No loop that I know of in my network
Assessment. Have spent quite a bit of time trying to decipher this IP technology data. I realize I’m way out of my league.
Plan: asking if anybody might have had similar problem, and how did you solve it. I did read about some software that might find the source of my conflict.
As always, thank you for taking the time reading my post. Still a newbie, and struggling and loving putting tougher my security system. I have been sucked into the rabbit hole.
