So a little background. We have a location that is having network card issues, and as of late, we have had to "hard shutdown" our interaface machine. When this happens, the buffer is pretty much lost, due to the sudden shutdown as we can't remotely shut it down clean.
Has anyone experienced this and come up with a workaround except for redundant interfaces? It sounds like the network communication is extremely slow, and this might be causing the network card failures, so I don't believe putting in a redundant interface on another box would solve the problem.
Thoughts?
