routing based on in dialed digits?
by Lewis Bergman 25 Jul '02

25 Jul '02

Does anyone know if a TC1000 can route a call like a regular switch can? I don't mean like a level 2 data switch. I mean like an Adtran 800 or an EXS2000 or an 5ESS. Route an analog call from an inbound port to some outbound port. -- Lewis Bergman Texas Communications 4309 Maple St. Abilene, TX 79602-8044 915-695-6962 ext 115

dual HiperARC's
by Lewis Bergman 25 Jul '02

25 Jul '02

Thanks to the links from WayneG I am now able to set up some different scenarios with my two HiperARC's I also found the manual had a couple more. http://totalservice.commworks.com/tcsDocs/4.2/10039434/104_ch10.htm#15817 What the manual doesn't say is what is the preferred way to balance two hiper's for performance and redundancy. The easiest way seems to be example 8 that delegates all the work to the NMC by doing this on both ARC's. set chassis slot 1-16 owner no enable nmc chassis_awareness enable nmc dynamic_slot_assignment enable nmc dsa_idle_rebalancing But, this seems to defeat redundancy. Now both ARC's rely on one NMC. I know the chances are slim of an NMC and a ARC going out at once but why make them redundant at all. I guess if the NMC croaks then the ARC's just keep their current assignment until the NMC reappears? Meaning it is redundant still? kindof? I have also heard some problems from the list with chassis awareness. Bottom line: Is anybody doing this? How are you doing it? Are you happy with how it is going? -- Lewis Bergman Texas Communications 4309 Maple St. Abilene, TX 79602-8044 915-695-6962 ext 115

SNMP enable?
by Lewis Bergman 24 Jul '02

24 Jul '02

I have tried using snmpget for every OID I can think of. None of the ones that seem to work for everyone else give anything except the system uptime for me. Memory, CPU, modem usage... . They all return system uptime. Is there something i need to enable on the chassis? an example of how I am doing it follows: [root@lewis ~# snmpget ipnumber public 1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.3.1.3.0 system.sysUpTime.6.1.4.1.429.4.3.1.3.0 = Timeticks: (941622234) 108 days, 23:37:02.34 That is supposed to be for memory. It doesn't matter what IOID I use it always comes back the same. -- Lewis Bergman Texas Communications 4309 Maple St. Abilene, TX 79602-8044 915-695-6962 ext 115

I think I have a 70A dying in my chassis, can I mix a 130A together with a 70A? Also can I hot insert a power supply? Thanks Timothy C.

More SNMP stuff
by Lewis Bergman 24 Jul '02

24 Jul '02

Having found much joy from the simple output MRTG gives with the modem utilization OID, I wondered to myself.... "Self, I says, what other really usefull OID's might give me a better picture of this box?" Does anyone have anything they check that lends a good health/performance picture on the TC. I am working my way through the MIB docs, long and ardous as they are and am looking to pair down the several thousand to the really important ones. -- Lewis Bergman Texas Communications 4309 Maple St. Abilene, TX 79602-8044 915-695-6962 ext 115

Accounting Question
by Noriega, Alejandro 24 Jul '02

24 Jul '02

Hi, I have more than 10 HiPerARCs with differents software version. I all HiPerARC where the version is: V4.1.59 - 6 or V4.1.59 - 1 the disconnected cause and the speed rx and tx attribute for the calls is sent to my radius differents like the HiPerARCs with higher software version and it doesn't understand it. This is the configuration example about accounting: TCAzuLTaSa-CI1>>shoW accoUNTING The Primary Server Status is: ENABLED Primary Server is: 200.42.89.34 Primary First Backup Server is: 0.0.0.0 Primary Second Backup Server is: 0.0.0.0 Primary Destination Port is: 1646 Primary First Backup Destination Port: 0 Primary Second Backup Destination Port: 0 Max Primary Retranmissions: 3 The Secondary Server Status is: ENABLED Secondary Server is: 200.42.89.35 Secondary First Backup Server is: 0.0.0.0 Secondary Second Backup Server is: 0.0.0.0 Secondary Destination Port is: 1646 Secondary First Backup Destination Port: 0 Secondary Second Backup Destination Port: 0 Max Secondary Retranmissions: 3 Source Port is: 1646 Retransmission Timeout: 60 seconds Accounting Start Time: CONNECTION Log Unauthenticated Calls: TRUE Vendor Specific Attribute: ENABLED Active Accounting Server (Primary): 200.42.89.34 Active Accounting Server (Secondary): 200.42.89.35 Attribute Style: STANDARD Prioritize First Server in a Server Group: DISABLED TCAzuLTaSa-CI1>>show radius RADIUS SETTINGS Fill Null Attributes : DISABLED Attribute Style: ASCEND Authentication Algorithm: ROUND_ROBIN Interim Accounting Interval Status: DISABLED Interim Accounting Interval: 240 seconds IEA Radius Source Port Authentication ENABLED IEA User Radius supplied username DISABLED Send Unauthenticated STOP record ENABLED Send Accounting records for default user: ENABLED Report Acct IP Addr only for Primary Link: DISABLED Send only STOP Acct for failed services: DISABLED I know that it surelly can be fix upgrading to a higher soft version but anyone knows if it could be and configuration problem? I didn't find information about what means each one of the fields under radius configuration, anyone have some about it o could tell me what the optimal configuration? Thanks zim

THANKS! Good to know that it can work - from a technical standpoint, I didn't understand why it wouldn't work, but that's just what I read.

>From what I read - you can't mix a 70 and a 130 together. NOTE: I'm FAR from an expert on that - just sure that I read it somewhere. But I wouldn't do it. But they can be hot swapped - I think you have to put the back part in first, leave it off, put in the front part, then turn it on. Again - I'm no expert, but that's what I remember.

Luckily, your Netserver 8 Plus is old enough, 3Com doesn't care if you grab old code and documentation: http://support.3com.com/software/remoteaccess_swlib.htm <http://support.3com.com/software/remoteaccess_swlib.htm> Don't get too excited; the link to TC1000's and current products will take you to Totalservice.commworks.com, and there you need a contract of some flavor to download code or management applications.
