A week or so ago someone posted about their recent OpenGear woes. Not sure if it was this sub or /r/cisco, but I can't find it at all. Anyone happen to have saved it for reference?
We've used OpenGears for years and recently have started having lots of problems with them. A brand new unit kept flaking out, and would need multiple power-cycles to come back up. Another unit that is also new crapped out after a firmware upgrade - network recovery brought it back up only to fail again moments later.
Many of our OG units have flaky connectivity - excessive PING drops. OG has suggested setting NICs to promiscuous mode which sometimes helps, sometimes doesn't.
Updating iptables firewalls rules using the config commands will result in the firewall rules being all jacked up a week later.
They used to be pretty good, and were only a tad flaky - PING drops and trying to make use of the redundant NICs was not stable. Our use of them is pretty light-weight - typically single-homed via RJ45 and just running as SSH console server. Can't really use them any less than that.
