Netgear GS724Tv4 - Data Storms

My home network uses a Netgear GS724Tv4 managed switch.

My Sonos gear comprises:

  1. Connect: Bedroom, Series ID: C100, WM: 0. OTP: 1.1.1(1-17-5-zp90-2.1)
  2. Play:3: Kitchen, Series ID: A100, WM: 0, OTP: 
  3. Beam: Sitting Room, Series ID: A100, Audio In: , WM: 0
  4. Play:1: Sitting Room (RS), Series ID: A200, WM: 0
  5. Play:1: Sitting Room (LS), Series ID: A101, WM: 0, OTP: 
  6. Sub: Sitting Room, Series ID: A101, WM: 0, OTP: 

This all works beautifully. But in my garden shed (connected via a 50m ethernet cable to the managed switch) I also have 2 Sonos 5’s (wired daisy chain).

I seem to be suffering data storms as the 5’s keep disappearing. 

My key Managed Switch settings are:

  • Spanning Tree State: Enable
  • STP Operation Mode; STP
  • Forward BPDU while STP disable: Enable
  • Bridge Priority: 0
  • Bridge Max Age (secs): 20
  • Bridge Hello Time (secs): 2
  • Bridge Forward Delay (secs): 15
  • Spanning Tree Maximum Hops: 20
  • CST Port Configuration (All ports) : STP Status : Enable, Fast Link: Disable, BPDU Forwarding: Enable, Path Cost :10,  External Port Path Cost: 10

 

Any help HUGELY appreciated please.

No, because you now -- hopefully -- have a solid Ethernet connection from the house. The evidence suggests that your original problems stemmed from a flaky wired connection.
