Good Day,
After further discussion and testing, today, it appears that the problem
sending SAP R/3 print requests from SF5/PS1 to "pillage" may be resolved.
The solution included an update to w91-109-sw-1's (18.92.0.9)
configuration, to force the communication between pillage and the switch to
use full duplex. Previously the switch had been communicating with pillage
in half duplex mode, despite pillage expecting full duplex communication.
This configuration was causing degraded performance overall between w91's
local network and remote locations, and complete inoperability between the
SAP R/3 environment and the IPM server within the local ethernet segment.
While destinations outside of the local network appeared functional, they
still likely suffered degraded performance due to the mismatch in
communication modes between the switch and pillage.
Unfortunately, I can not test all scenarios or validate any printing.
-- at the moment, SF5 is unavailable
-- print requests from PS1 arrive in the gltw queue; however, the
printer is unavailable

-- the web page, <https://pillage.mit.edu/>, does not reflect the
recent print requests. Why?
As people have time on Monday, any additional testing and printing would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Theresa
