by Craig 28 Jun '01

28 Jun '01

Hello usr-tc, Thanks for the Help Kieth, I have determined what we need to change some modem I have out of fax's only mode back to the hst/dual standard mode! Unfortunately I do not have a Platinum card and thus not a 3com/commworks service contract! Can anyone help me out here looking for quads v.34 firmware revision 1.5.10 or above release in 1998...laying about or available to pass on! -- Thanks, Craig mailto:Craig@tavrida.net - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

Can you describe what you mean by fax only? You may need to just delete the net services for that modem group and add one for RAS. --k Craig <Craig(a)tavrida.net> on 06/25/2001 05:37:57 AM Please respond to usr-tc(a)lists.xmission.com Sent by: Craig <Craig(a)tavrida.net> To: usr-tc(a)lists.xmission.com cc: (Keith Gerhards/US/3Com) Subject: (usr-tc) Can someone answer qution about quads Hello usr-tc, Hi, I have several v.34 quad modems that are set up for fax only as it seems. what flash or software etc. I need to return them to oridnary dialup mode?? -- Thanks, Craig mailto:Craig@tavrida.net - 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) (USR-TC) Set Radius attribute style command
by RickL＠solunet.com 25 Jun '01

25 Jun '01

Anybody have any idea what the command "set radius attribute_style [standard | ascend |mci]" does specifically? The ARC Reference manual says: "Sets RADIUS authentication parameters including the descriptive style of attributes you prefer to use, the authentication procedure employed" Yeah, ok, but what does it do?

RE: (usr-tc) Lack of Accounting response from the Accounting serv er

Kevin, Thanks for the response and info. I think I may go ahead and put this back in 8E6 Technologies lap to fix. As Mark said...a device like this should be completely transparent once put in place. I'll let you know what happens. Sincerely, Rick Team Solunet -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Hemsley [mailto:kevin@hemsley.net] Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2001 6:34 PM To: usr-tc(a)lists.xmission.com Subject: Re: (usr-tc) Lack of Accounting response from the Accounting server We are using the R2000, but we have not tried the new Radius implementation. We use the R2000 with a combination of HyperARCs, NetServers, and PortMaster3s located on different networks, at different POPs. We wrote a custom C application that ties into Cistron Radius running on Solaris and is executed at each radius login. The application checks to see if the user is in a file of filtered users. If the user is not in the filtered list, the application sends a default response of : Framed-Address = 255.255.255.254, Which causes the NAS to assign a normal IP address out of the standard NAS' IP pool. This works with all our NAS types. If the user is in our file of filtered users, the custom application assigns the user a filtered IP address. Because we have multiple NAS types located at different POPs, we have to determine which POP the user is dialing into, and what type of NAS (HiperARC, NetServer, or PM3) is requesting the IP, and assign a unique IP appropriate for that POP and NAS. This is done by reading a config file that describes each NAS by listing the IP address of each NAS, the beginning IP address for the IP pool that will be assigned for that NAS, and the NAS type (HiperARC, NetServer, or PM3) . The custom application then assigns an IP address that is based on the NAS port number that the user is dialed into. So if the user is dialed into NAS PM-15 port 31, the user will be assigned an IP address equal to the beginning IP address of the pool for that NAS + the adjusted port # the user is dialed into. So, for example, if the beginning IP for that NAS pool is 192.168.5.1, the IP assigned will be 192.168.5.31. Because the NetServer starts at port 5, and the PM3s start at port 1, and the HiperARCs can be configured to have ports like 3000, the application adjusts the port number that gets added to each filtered pool IP address accordingly. The end result is that we can support filtered IP addresses for multiple NAS types on different networks, located at different POPs and allow the user to dial into any POP and still have a filtered IP address. Then our core router and a ServerIron layer 3 switch perform the task of routing the filtered IP packets past the R2000 for filtering at the NOC where we pool all backbone bandwidth. This solution has worked flawlessly for a couple of years with no maintenance, other than adding new NAS boxes to the configuration file. The only downside is that we have to allocate double the IP addresses for each NAS. One IP for non filtered, and one for filtered access. So this does waste IP addresses. If all our NAS supported OSPF and multiple IP pools, then we could eliminate the wasted IP addresses. But since they don't, this is how we addressed the problem. I am curious to see how this new Radius implementation works, and if it would work for our network configuration.

Thanks Mark. What you say makes sense. I agree any device like this should be transparent to the RAS and Accounting server. I'll put this back on 8E6 Technologies.

It was a different vendor but same problem and same attitude. In my opinion it is very important in your application that the accounting packets, both start and stop are transmitted back to the TCH. If not and one is lost then the filter server will not set up for the user and the grandkids will be surfing for porn. Then you get a phone call... It isn't pretty when this happens. You can use the command 'set accounting primary_retransmissions 1' to limit the number of retransmits, but DO NOT set it to 0 as that means infinite retransmits. It's 3Com, go figure... I don't know how much you are paying for the filtering but they need to fix it. Accept nothing less than a completely transparent proxy between your TCH and the radius server.

(usr-tc) incompatible destination=no phone calls
by eric＠dol.net 22 Jun '01

22 Jun '01

We are getting dead air then a busy on our 2 pri spans at one location. Verizon says our equipment is responding to the call being sent in with "incompatible destination". All of our settings are the same as yesterday. I even just reflashed the pri card and reset the heck out of everything. This happens periodically where the lines go busy yest no alarms show. I usually reset the spans with "restore to service" and the calls begin coming in again. This time however I have not been successful at all. I believe the problem is at the switch as I have replaced the pri cards in the past and the problem has repeated itself. These are our only two spans at this location so we are down so I need to get them up asap. thanks eric - 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) Lack of Accounting response from the Accounting server

Anyone, I have a problem: In using an 8E6 Technologies RS2000 content filtering device, we are experiencing an issue where the ARCII has the RS2000 listed as the Primary Accounting server. This is half-way working in that the accounting start record is sent to the RS2000, then the RS2000 sends the Accounting Start packet to the Accounting server. The Accounting server then sends a response back to the RS2000, but the RS2000 NEVER sends anything to the ARC. The ARC understands this as "oh, the Accounting server didn't receive my Accounting start packet, I better send it again". And it sends, and it sends, and it sends. I contacted 8E6 Technologies, and was told that I just need to "turn off retransmission of accounting packets". Only problem is...there is no setting to turn off retransmission of accounting packets.

RE: (usr-tc) static IP address assignments
by USRobotics TC Mailing List 21 Jun '01

21 Jun '01

I've got Static IP addresses working with Vircom Radius, but would rather not pay the $1,500 US their asking for, just to add Static IP address functionality. I only need the ability to assign static IP addresses to a couple of users. I've already got dynamic IP assignment from pools working. I'm using the version of Radius that comes with W2K. I've been using the NT 40 version for about three years now without a single problem, other than I've not been able to assign a static IP address to individual users. I've got a years experience with FreeBSD, but our authentication is off of NT, and a migration is out of the question right now. I'm pretty sure I can figure this out, but I think I've missed a concept somewhere along the way. How does Radius know which Framed-IP-Address to assign a specific user? Is this done with an attribute such as Filter-ID or something else? -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Mcadams [mailto:jeffm@iglou.com] Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2001 4:49 AM To: usr-tc(a)lists.xmission.com Subject: Re: (usr-tc) static IP address assignments Also sprach USRobotics TC Mailing List >Thank you for the quick responses. >I guess I don't know as much about RADIUS as I should. >I know how to create a radius profile, but what I don't know, is how to >assign a specific profile to a specific user. RADIUS profiles sound like an implementation specific thing, so I don't think I'm gonna be able to help much there. >I'd like to specify the address in Framed-IP-Address rather than having to >assign a pool. Right...the question is, are you going to assign static IP addresses to *all* of your customers, or is this just going to be for specific people, and most everyone else gets dynamic IP addresses still. The typical way of handling that is to have a Framed-IP-Address with the static IP address for the users that get the statics, and have it be 255.255.255.255 for the rest of the users, then define an IP pool on each of your NAS systems for the dynamics to pull from. >The Windows 2000 version of radius doesn't have a Framed-IP-Address >attribute, only USR-Framed-IP-Address-Pool. That version of RADIUS (w2k? gack! ;) may call it something different. Maybe just IP-Address or something like that.
