(usr-tc) IPX Config Help
by Chris Hanes 12 Jan '00

12 Jan '00

I'm having trouble getting IPX to work on my boxes. Each box is receiving ipx routes and sap info from my Cisco, but that info is not being propagated to dialin sessions. Currently routing is set to listen only; does this need to be set to broadcast in order for the routes to be sent to the modem connections? Also, radius is sending Framed-Routing = Listen and Framed-IPX-Network = 255.255.255.254. What am I missing here? Thanks.

I have my first accounting server specified as the primary accounting server, and everything is working fine as is. The problem I'm having is related to my second server, which I intend to use as a backup in case the first one goes down. When my second server is set as the secondary server, everything works okay. However, when I have my second server set as the primary first backup, no accounting records are recorded and the NT event log is full of malformed packets. What is different about the packets when they are sent to the server configured as the primary first backup versus the secondary? My other chassis which runs a NSC has no problem at all with the second server. Thanks for your help. Anu Jolliffe Network Administrator Imagen Communications Inc.

(usr-tc) I just HARCed up
by Lon R. Stockton, Jr. 12 Jan '00

12 Jan '00

The idea is to make a smooth transition from harc v4.0.30 to v4.1.22 by putting in my cold-spare harc card in the chassis and upgrading that. Then I can move dsps to it one at a time such that we're never down and nobody gets arbitrarialy disconnected. Before I stuck another harc in the chassis, tho, I figured I'd better make sure that the dsps were owned by the existing harc so the new one wouldn't try to grab 'em. So I go into my semi-trusty HARM (v1.0.8), pick "Tables->Chassis Configuration", and for each card, I select it, hit 'Edit', click the 'owner' checkbox, and hit 'Ok'. Then click 'Set' to configure the changes. And immediately knock off all current connections, and begin refusing calls with a fast busy. I quickly go back in and put things back, and everything returns to normal. So I guess my question is, "huh?". I guess I have another question too, one which I should pose before I do anything anyway. First, my relevant version numbers: s/w h/w HDSP: 1.2.5 0.49.0 HARC: 4.0.30 1.0.0 NMC: 5.5.5 6.0 TCMW: 5.5.1 HARM: 1.0.8 I want to give hdsp v2.0.51 a shot as well as the aforementioned upgrade of the harc to 4.1.22. I have a couple of concerns about this, however. First off, my versions of nmc, tcmw, and harm are not listed in the compatability lists in the release notes for the new harc/hdsp software releases. And of course, those upgrades are unavailable to me since I let my service contract expire last year. So, I'm stuck with those. I can either use my system as it was represented to me when I bought it and live with security problems on the harc (and relatively broken code on the hdsps)....or I can upgrade to these current software versions and lose the functionality of a nmc and windows-based management. Or maybe it's not all that bad? And is there an issue with the new hdsp version on v0.49.0 dsp hardware? What's the summary on that one? - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

RE; (usr-tc) DSP cards rebooting

Cheryl...We have been running this code for about a month now and have not had to reset a modem since. Have not noticed any ill effects from the upgrade. We raised our carrier loss detect setting to 20 I believe the default is 6 or 7. Can't say it helped anything but has not done any harm either.
