We are looking into adding a 10g fiber link between two of our locations however we arent sure if its possible. We have an HP Procurve 2910al on one side and an AdTran 1638 on the other and we are looking to go between with single mode fiber.
If we get the appropriate SFP adapters for either side does it matter if one SFP adapter is Adtran and the other is HP?
I have a server 2012 installation that is hosting all of our printers for our school district. as well as the google cloud print service so that our chromebooks can print. Over the last couple months I have noticed that the server will just stop allowing end users to print and printers will "go offline" I RDP into the server and run netstat -anob as admin and it will list all the Ports that are ESTABLISHED which normally caps at about 65k. The service that opened them all is spoolsv.exe and it will display what PID it has at at that time. It is now to the point where I have to go in and restart the print spooler several times a day to clear out the ports and then everthing works 100% again.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any way I can avoid it or figure out whats causing it. I have read it may be a poorly written driver but I have no way of telling what printer the user printed to in order to open that port. and removing and re-adding the drivers isn't an option as it serves 4 schools ad they "NEED" to print!
