Watchdog Firing Constantly
Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2026 2:29 pm
Netonix has suddenly started watchdogging on a port and I can't figure out why.
The switch and access point are on the same subnet. Watchdog has been in place for years without an issue.
This port occasionally has some kind of RF interference on it that will lock it, so we have a watchdog bounce to reset it.
I have the watchdog set for 3 x 15 to trigger.
For the last two days it has been triggering constantly -- so I'm thinking we must have something failing.
But this morning I'm watching traffic on the switch and running pings to the AP and traffic is flowing normal and no pings are dropping but the switch just goes "WATCHDOGGING! Disable/enable port" and drops everything.
