(usr-tc) MRTG cfg
by stevec 22 Jan '00

22 Jan '00

I was wondering what I can use as SNMPOID for my TC rack. The main thing I want to look at is modem utilization. I was sent a cfg file from a friend and the SNMPOID didn't work with my unit. First off, how can I tell what all I am running. Our telco provider set all our stuff up so I don't know what it is. I can telnet to it and I get a "HIPER>>" prompt. I used the cfgmaker with mrtg but it gave me a bunch of useless ports. I would also like to monitor bandwidth utilization through this if possible. Thanks for your help!

(usr-tc) To many drops after connect
by Paul Farber 21 Jan '00

21 Jan '00

hello all still fighting with TC to try and get decent connection performance out of the thing. flashed the ARC/NMC/DSP to 4.1.22/6.2.17/2.0.60 and here are some frighting stats: Total Calls (from radius): 66212 Calls of < 1 minute in length: 9266 Thats a 14% drop rate! It seems to hit some people in bulk... it they dial in 5-10 times and then they just give up. I tried to narrow it down to a specific slot/channel but thier dosen't seem to be a pattern. Anyone else seeing similiar results??? All circuits are PRI.

(usr-tc) Backing up NMC and ARC configs
by Campbell Simpson 21 Jan '00

21 Jan '00

Hi all Just following on from the ARC tftp upload thread, does anyone have an cunning way to backup and restore the full config of an NMC or ARC card. Its a real pain if you have to swap out cards and re-configure the cards manually.

(usr-tc) State of the Hub followup
by Jeff Mcadams 21 Jan '00

21 Jan '00

Well, I've gotten answers concerning the state of support contract rules for Total Control equipment. Support is still purchased on a per-chassis basis, with surcharges for having more than a certain number of ports in the chassis, and its still required to have the same support coverage on all chassis within a single site. These are the exact same support contract rules that have driven many of us to stop carrying coverage of our TC chassis, and rely on our own wits, and resellers. I think this speaks very poorly of 3Com that, after two to three years, these issues still have not been addressed at all! I still fail to understand why support is required to be done on a per-chassis basis when it would actually be *easier* to do it on a per-card basis. Serial numbers for individual cards are easily retrieved via SNMP/TCM from the chassis, serial numbers for the chassis requires copying the number off a barcode label physically applied to the chassis. Serial numbers are already tracked on a per-card number by 3Com (witnessed by the ability to sign up for warranty coverage of equipment on a per-card level on the totalservice web site by entering the serial number of the individual card). I still fail to understand why 3Com requires equal coverage on all equipment in a location (this was stated as being on a single site...our past experience indicates that 3Com will not live up to this statement), I also fail to understand why 3Com requires equal levels of coverage on all the different *types* of equipment in a location. I don't think it takes a genius to realize that a quad card failing and taking 4 ports out of service is considerably less critical than a HiPer Arc failing and taking up to 300 (or more) ports out of service. I invite 3Com to share thier reasoning for these support contract rules, and especially invite 3Com to rectify the problems as they currently exist. I hope solutions presented will be substantive solutions, not someone calling me to once again explain what the support coverage options that currently exist are. I've been through that many times, explaining it again isn't going to solve the problems. I would be interested in hearing what the "unbundled service" offerings shown on 3Com's web site are about (http://support.3com.com/infodeli/services/index.htm) The individual I spoke with (who was very personable) indicated that unbundled services indicated on that web page are *not* available for the Total Control equipment. -- 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.

Unfortunately, we fail because RADIUS need to get connect-info attribute from USR. How to enable USR so it can send Connect-Info attribute to RADIUS server ?
