Hi,

My company purchased a 3Com NBX 100 phone system, and I installed it
today. It's running without the IP-on-the-fly licence, and is plugged
directly into a SuperStack II switch with the rest of our computers.
The second I plugged it in though, I noticed a sudden surge of
traffic. I tried shutting off auto discovery, and enabled
compression, etc. but this still persists. The status lights on the
switch are at a constant orange indication.

Is this normal behavior of the NBX? Also, would adding the IP licence
prevent this? We have a VPN and multiple subnets, so ultimately I
need to buy it...

Thanks in advance.

Do you use MOH (Music on Hold)? if you don't, then disable it.

Thank you for the tip! I disabled MOH and it solved the problem.

Hi Greg

This is because SuperStack II switches do not support multicast
properly. You would not have any problems when using 4400 series or
above switches. The NBX sends the music on hold as multicast, at a
constant rate just high enough to cause the data light to remain
permanently on. This is simply cosmetic, and should not cause any
problem on your network.

Regards

Chris
