Ooo! I might be able to provide a clue as I had a similar issue. This is 
the thread that helped solve my problem a few years back:

(My notes on the thread and referral thread is 15 pages-- not going to 
upload here but if you or someone else wants contact and I'll upload to 
DropBox or some place -- it's in LibreOffice (odt) but I can change to 
PDF.  Please include this title so I can find again {I need to better 
organize things!)  "Loss of Connectivity with Switch".)
