(usr-tc) Rip Routing question
by Mark Thornton 26 Jan '00

26 Jan '00

We, like others tried to implement OSPF because it was supposed to be the holy grail of internal routing as far as 3Com was concerned. I had high hopes for it because we have occasional lapses in RIP2 propogation to the Cisco router. By that I mean occasionally the rip routes for a given chassis just disappear, then reappear after about 20 to 30 minutes. I had to place static routes to each chassis defining the space containing the assigned ip address pool to get consistent access for the majority of our clients. Dedicated ip clients still occasionally experienced the problem until I put a static route to one of the Arcs for each client. If the RIP was working it seemed to overide the static route, if not the traffic bounced of the Arc on to the correct Arc in most cases. 3Com was of abosolutely no help on this matter while we were under contract, hence no current contract. I never could get OSPF to work but that is probably because I have never worked with it before and the docs are a bit thin on application. Has anyone else experienced RIP problems? I thought it might be someone stuffing the Cisco with bad routes so I moved to authenticated RIP with no change in behaviour. I haven't removed the static routes since we got to 4.2.32-1 to see if the problem is still there.

(usr-tc) DSPCode 2.0.51
by Cheryl Johnson 26 Jan '00

26 Jan '00

Is this code only recommended for hardware revisions .54 and .55 only? I have .49 and was thinking of moving to the 2.0.51 from the 2.0.60 since I do not see too many improvements. And is this compatible with NMC 6.1.17 and ARC 4.1.22? It seems to be getting more difficult to keep these things straight. -Cheryl Johnson SEI Data Network Services, Inc.

(usr-tc) Missing Radius records... was Billing Software
by Mark Thornton 26 Jan '00

26 Jan '00

There has been a fair amount of discussion about missing radius records, specifically stop records as regards to concurrency control. I posted a question about this a week or so back and didn't get a response. In my case I have a single chassis that is prone to this problem, but the others are not. Any ideas why? Also, if getting the stop record is so unreliable how do those of you who do hourly billing keep the system working? In our case the session is lost and not billed for. I can live with that but it bothers me that it isn't reliable.

Re: (usr-tc) (USR-TC) MISSING RADIUS R
by Steve Valiunas 26 Jan '00

26 Jan '00

I've also seen cases where the NAS was talking to a remote radius server over shakey/saturated links, causing a lot of radius retransmissions- If the Radius server can't handle starts & stops coming in out of order, then session-limiting based on this will break. In at least a couple of cases things cleaned up by fixing the link. To see if this might be contributing to the problem, compare the count of retransmitted accounting packets between the working and not working Harcs ("show accounting counters"). It -might- be as simple as that. Of course this isn't likely if all the chassis are local.

I plan to try another HiPerArc upgrade soon.

Re: (usr-tc) Quad ana/dig modem not taking calls (another case of)
by Ray Whelan 26 Jan '00

Hi Dan , Am I correct in thinking from your original mail both Analog and Digital were failing, from your Debug you attached in you second mail Analog call connect. What I see from the Debug is a follows Working Analog calls Failed Digital Call Telco Nas Telco Nas I -3 -> I -3 -> A-1 <- A1 ( 5seconds) 0 A1 A-3 3 A1 3 A1 -----> Clear Fwd 3 A1 I-3 A3 ii-1 B6 <- Answer The problem is when a Digital calls comes form your telco, we get the first digit and we respond to it with a A-1, The telco should then should send the next digit but the NAS times out ( normal condition) as no other digits or recieved, the NAS then sends a digit complete , but the telco send a clear forward . Two issues to look into either telco not seeing our A-1 or there is a problem with the telco digital call service. Talk to your telco make sure you service can have a digital service.
