not sure whats going on there but we have the same setup except DSP's instead of quads. never have problems with the 800's. here's my configs - the ppp auth. config on the Cisco is a little wierd but thats the only way I could get auth. requests answered by the ARC.

(usr-tc) cisco 804 to total-control hiperarc
by Laszlo Vecsey 08 Jan '00

I have a customer attempting to dial up with an isdn cisco 804 unit, to a total control hiperarc (quad modems). The connection is established and I see the authentication show up in the radius server log, but then the connection gets dropped. The user and pass is accepted ok. I monitored the ppp call events on the hiperarc, and as the call comes in it says almost instantly that the Peer does not have any IP protocol set, so DISABLING.

(usr-tc) Radius Accounting problem with one chassis
by Mark Thornton 07 Jan '00

07 Jan '00

I am having a problem with one of my TCH chassis, out of a total of four. The chassis in question is running a hiperarc and two dsp's connected to PRI lines primarily servicing ISDN. The other three are hiperarc w/ 12 quads and two dsp's on T1's. All are running the same level of code. The problem is that the ISDN chassis is losing some of the accounting packets, mainly the stop packets. It appears to occur more frequently with certain users, but I think that is mainly because they log on and off a lot. I don't see this on any of the other chassis's at all. I have compensated for this by using a radius server that monitors the chassis via snmp to keep the active user list accurate. The problem is that if a client tries to log in before the snmp cycle occurs they fail because of too many active sessions. I have another hack for that but something is wrong that needs to be fixed. I have tried two different NT machines in different network configurations (switch vs. hub on same segment), and I have tried a Linux machine configured to receive the radius accounting packets. All have experienced the problem so I have concluded it is in the chassis. I was kinda hoping it was the NT machines, because it is easy to replace;) Anyway, I am lost on what to else look for. All the systems are configured in the same way or at least I think so. Is there a way to do a configuration dump from multiple chassis's and then run them through a comparison? What parts of the system are responsible for generating the stop message? One thing I haven't tried yet is swapping the hiperarcs between chassis's and see if the problem moves. Is this worth a shot or could it be the NMC. All of mine are real old. Thanks for any insight you can offer...

If your users authenitcate to an NT SAM database then any misspelling of a username can be logged into the event log. That's how we set it up here.

I have a pmwho conversion to a usrwho which is working well, but it won't tell connect speed or idle time. I have to either telnet into the TC or use TCM to see how fast. Not very efficient. I also was used to being able to see a user connecting and be able to see if they were misspelling or putting @netconx.net on the end of their username, but I can't see it with the usrwho program. If I'm missing any ways of doing these things, I hope someone would pass along the secrets. Good luck with your TC's, I like mine so far except for the monitoring. There is lot's of good info in the TCM that I didn't have before. I also like going beyond 48 modems in a chassis.
