(usr-tc) problem with packet filter and radius
by Jesse Schachter 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

I am using a U.S. Robotics Total Control with NETServer Card V.34/ISDN with Frame Relay V3.3.28. For authentication, I use a RADIUS server, Livingston RADIUS 2.1 1999/6/23. On my Total Control, I have the following filter: ct1> show filter filter1 - IP rules - 1 permit 0.0.0.0/0 192.150.81.179/32 tcp 2 permit 192.150.81.179/32 0.0.0.0/0 tcp 3 deny 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 ip I have the following entry in the users file: perks4u Password="xxx" Framed-Protocol = PPP, Framed-Filter-Id = "filter1", Framed-Netmask = 255.255.255.255 User-Service-Type = Framed-User When I try to dial in as this user, I get connected, then immediately disconnected. The following appears in the syslog: Aug 23 13:15:05 ct1 acct 02000160 dialnet: port S9 perks4u succeeded dest 206.43.246.26 Aug 23 13:15:06 ct1 remote_connect: Packet filter does not exist. User perks4u disconnected. If anyone can shed some light as to why the NAS is claiming that the filter doesn't exist when it clearly does, that would be appreciated. _.,+=~`^"-.,_.,+=~`^"-*.,_.,+=~'`^"-.,_.,+=~`^"-.,_.,+=~`^"- Jesse Schachter .,.

RE: (usr-tc) Comments on latest codes
by Verreault, John 22 Aug '00

I have heard of a few cases where the ARC reboots or seems to freeze with 5.0.9. It just happened to me once since I flashed the code (about 10 days ago) It seems to happen on loaded chassis' (10 DSPs) Has any one else experienced this ???

(usr-tc) Strange IP hopping in DUN
by Carl Jagerski 19 Aug '00

19 Aug '00

Hi Everyone, Got a strange one. First for me. We had a lot of customers dialing into Total Control Chassis and everything was OK. Also, have customers dialing into Ascend MAX 6068 Boxes and everything is OK with them too. Rescently we changed some lines around and the customers that were in the TC units are now dialing into the Ascend units. Abount 10% to 20% of the former TC box users are now having the strangest problem I've ever seen. Our Customer's DUN is setup with server assigned IP address and static DNS addresses. When they dial into the Ascend boxes now, it changes the IP address to static and assigns the first DNS number to it. Also, it moves the second DNS number to the first DNS slot and deletes the second. What's up with that ! When we correct it on the customer's machine, it changes right back when they dial in again. Has anyone seen this before? I am so confused right now I don't know which way to turn.

(usr-tc) SNMP Trap processing software--
by Scott Trautman 19 Aug '00

19 Aug '00

Hi, Alarm Server is really starting to annoy the crud out of me. The latest ARC code creates spurious traps. I'm looking around at download.com and finding plenty of SNMP POLLING software, not much that's listing for SNMP Traps, which is what Alarm Server is SENDING. Something with enough flexability to import the MIB/dictionary would be great. Know of anything? Somebody better come up with something or I swear I'm opening up VB6 and then there'll be trouble!

Hello, We recently started having problems where every other login attempt (or so) fails and we get the following error on the console: Facility "User Manager", Level "CRITICAL":: Unable to allocate memory: ES_NO_DYNMEM add handle A reboot clears it up. We currently have 10 DSP's in it, but we aren't any where near capacity when it happens.

(usr-tc) Total Control Chassis

I have been following this list for some time, and have had great luck with my equipment. I currently have a Total Control Chassis that has performed well for me, but I have found another solution to providing remote access to my customers, so I must sell my equipment. I have one Total Control Chassis with 1 HipArc, 1 TCM, 1 Power Supply, and 4 Hiper DSP's. If anyone would be interested in purchasing some slightly used but reliable equipment, please contact me personally and I can send you the full specs on my equipment. -- Jeff Jarchow BWA Internet http://www.bwai.net/ admin(a)bwai.net 800-453-4377 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

(usr-tc) techs on the list
by Jeff Mcadams 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

Heya... I need to back off of a previous post a bit...I have confirmed that Mike Wronski, Krish, and the others are still on the list (apparently through a list exploder at 3Com, not directly), so things aren't as bad as I had feared were possible. :) Anyway...wanted to let the list know that the techs are still around and hearing us (and willing to help if something comes up)...since the list has been fairly quiet of any significant technical issues we just haven't seen much of them. :) Which is rather a good thing in some ways. Of course, my issues with support contracts still stand (particularly since they aren't issues with the techie folks :), and I'd *still* like to hear something from 3Com about what, if anything, they're doing to help resolve the support contract issue. :) -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm(a)iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

(usr-tc) Configuring Static IP Addresses through 2 HiperARCs
by Mike Storjohann 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

Does anyone know if there is a way to give a user a static IP address when he connects to a TotalControl with 2 HiperARCs? The issue is that the router that connects the 2 ARCs to the outside world does not know which ARC to send data destined to the static IP address that is assigned. Why? Well the same hunt group that the user dials into is assigned to all HiperDSPs in the chassis and there are 5 DSPs routed through each ARC. So there is no guarantee which ARC the user will be routed through. I hope you got all that! Can you add the same static IP address in each ARC and have it use RIP to add a route in the connecting router? If so, will only the one that is in use by the user have an active RIP session? If you have any ideas at all, please let me know. Thanks. Mike Storjohann Internet Services Administrator HunTel.net® mstorjohann(a)huntel.net <mailto:mstorjohann@huntel.net>
