We have two switches that are behaving strangely. When I ping them the responses alternate between high and low results:
C:\Users\paul>ping sw-linksys1 -t

Other switches in the network behave normally. I've rebooted the switches, but the behavior still is there with the ping. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks!
