With Superscan I seem to have blown out a switch. It went "red" on the HP Openview screen and didn't react to ping anymore. All the network traffic continued - fortunately :-) As of today the admins haven't been able to tell me what really happened. I haven't dared to try Superscan anymore - although I like it's output very much - especially it's checks for headers and anonymous FTP and SMTP.
<Snip> You don't mention the type of switch you have encountered this on but I have run into this before with some HP switches. After getting chastised by the admins for bringing down a production switch with a scan I asked them what firmware version they were running on the switch and found out they were running an older version of firmware that had known issues. We scheduled a firmware upgrade and another scan indicated no more problems. Dave
