Re: (usr-tc) Temporarily dead chassis
by John Mies 30 Oct '00

It needs something bigger than a 600? It is hard to believe that it would just shut down the chassis during a brownout and not come back on when the power comes back up. ALL UPS's are suppossed to have Brown out protection. Their should be no power drops. It just does not sound logical to me. When the power goes off it switches and has stayed up until I either shut it down or the power comes back on, whichever came first, and I have sat through brownouts here and it has never done it.

(usr-tc) Fast busy...
by mmm3＠cornell.edu 29 Oct '00

29 Oct '00

I have 35 T1 circuits coming into my dialup pool. These circuits are in a hunt group which Verizon (f/k/a Bell Atlantic) controls. I had some trouble with one of my chassis where the HiPerARC's NIC failed. When I went to busy out the DS0s on this chassis (whose T1s are in the middle of this hunt group), instead of the calls being routed onto the next available T1, I get a fast busy as if the chassis is "seizing" all the circuits. I had to power the chassis down in order for calls to continue on to the next T1 in the hunt group. Bell At... err... Verizon says there's nothing wrong with their hunt software. Anyone have a clue handy? Can I really not remotely busy a chassis out and leave it powered up for maintenance, or is this a peculiarity with the bad NIC on the HiPerARC? ********************************************************* Michelle M.

In my most recent problem I have to admit that a couple of 3Com lurkers came to my rescue offlist. I was having a problem with all of my Arcs' hanging up after a few days, but it seems no other production facilities on this list were seeing a similar behaviour. I wish they could post publicly and be recognized but they can't. I do appreciate that they cared and contacted me offering suggestions. As far as 3Com is concerned, several months ago there was some talk to me about changing the non-hardware replacement support costs. Several days ago there was additional mention of a possible offering of telephone and code support independent of hardware support. I am hoping that they will consider the cost per chassis issue and make it afordable. I understand the linear increase in price for hardware replacement, but code and tech support requires a lot less intervention per chassis when they are in groups so the cost could and should drop significantly for multiple units (starting at two, not two hundred!).

(usr-tc) TCH Latchup problems, continued
by Mark Thornton 22 Oct '00

22 Oct '00

The latchup problem is begining to become a real issue here. It has occurred on all of our chassis's and seems to be an issue of the system no longer initiating new PPP sessions. Existing connections continue to work well, but new connections fail after the username/password phase. The systems are also much less tolerant of SNMP queries for online users as they have been in the past. Our radius software (Vircom) polls the TCH's to verify the current online user tables. When we are experiencing problems the HiperArc does not respond to the SNMP queries either which has the effect of wiping the online user list. We are running the latest available code (as of three weeks ago) and that is when this group of problems began. I have seen an improvement in connections to troublesome systems when the servers are working, but the downtime is becoming an issue. I really thought I could avoid ditching the TCH's for new equipment after the upgrade but that just doesn't look to be the case. I have done the math and I can buy new equipment with real tech support for an amount less than what I can sell my current systems for and the cost of phone support to 3Com (assuming that would help). That looks like the only real option left. Is anyone else seeing this problem? Could it be a configuration error? Any ideas?
