Yes, network scanning can bring down a switch or core device. But, it all depends on the hardware you have. What is the core switch? What OS version is it running? What kind of scans is your security person running? Chris -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of James A. Hayes Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 11:10 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Port Scanning Has anyone seen where port scanning caused major network issues? Our security officer runs port scans on our network when ever she wants to and it never fails that our network then chugs down to a complete halt and we have to reboot our core switch to correct the problem. Any ideas or suggestions? James A.
