(usr-tc) Static IPs
by Steve Cobb 29 Feb '00

29 Feb '00

Hi all, I'm trying to assign static IPs to some ISDN users. I'm using HiperDSPs with RadiusNT authentication. I have tried letting the end user just set the IP on their computer but that doesn't work. I only have one IP pool set up and this includes 46 IPs of my class C. Do I need to make another pool and if so, how? I tried to add one and put in the initial address but I keep getting an error that it is not a valid address. I'm using the syntax xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Any help?? -- Steve Cobb Computer Geeks stevec(a)computer-geeks.com www.computer-geeks.com ***************************** Want faster internet service? www.geeksnet.com -- - 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) Radius Framed-Address
by Kevin Hemsley 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

We are using Unix for authentication with Cistron Radius and I've been assigning IPs out of different pools for some time for filtered customers. However, on a new HiPer ARC chassis at a remote POP, for some reason I can't assign a user a static IP using the Framed-Address attribute using the Radius users file. Instead of the static IP, they receive an IP out of the standard pool. The odd thing is that the same chassis is properly assigning IPs out of a different pool for filtered users. The only difference is the filtered users are assigned out by an external program called by Cistron's Exec-Program-Wait, and the static-IP-user is assigned directly with a "Framed-Address = x.x.x.x" Both methods use Framed-Address = x.x.x.x in the end and there are no typos. Listed below is the user's record. Any ideas? user Password = "UNIX" User-Service-Type = Framed-User, Framed-Protocol = PPP, Framed-Address = x.x.x.x, Framed-Netmask = 255.255.255.255 ______________________________________ Kevin Hemsley Systems Engineer Microserv Computer Technologies, Inc. kev(a)ida.net (208) 528-6161 KB7TYA - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

Anyone have any idea how to get this working? I've been playing with the dictionary file with no luck.

(usr-tc) 486 NMC problems
by Paul Farber 26 Feb '00

26 Feb '00

Hello all have a 486 based ARC card w/6.1.17 on it. I'm trying to bring it up via TCM and and 3 things happen that shouldn't.... i change the SNMP communities then do a 9 to save config, reboot, but old values are still there. The TX light never blinks and I cannot get the ZMODEM download (where you are supposed to type AT{Z}) screen up no matter how many times I yank out the NAC. DIP 5 to on really does nothing either. SInce the chassis is a NOT DSP based (has a dual PRI w/quads) what is the correct NMC version (6.0.9?) Or is it just plain bused?

RE: (usr-tc) Why "Ascend" accounting attributes from a USR NAS? (also, Vendor-Specific = "" ?)
by Dave Kitabjian 25 Feb '00

25 Feb '00

That (updating my dictionary) was my first guess. However, take Ascend-Data-Rate (AttributeId = 197) for example.I looked in the "dictionary.usr" that you emailed me last week, and there is no Attribute in it with id=197 (or its hex equivalent, C5). So that means one of several things: 1) The dictionary you sent me was not the latest; 2) I am misreading the dictionary, somehow; 3) The dictionary is not the problem. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong here?

Re: (usr-tc) Authentication on HiPers

Hi Christopher, Couple of things you can narrow down your problem On the Hiper Arc do one of the following monitor radius / monitor ppp, >mon ppp >mon radius >Set Facility "call initiation process" loglevel common Set up local user on the ARC and test.

The log (We use Cistron Radius on a RHLinux 6.1 box for authentication and accounting) shows the username fine, but the password is garbled (garbage characters), and thus can not authenticate. The Hipers are all running 2.0.51 (Which, BTW, really helped the problems with losing modems), and they have been hardware reset. >From telnet, the SHOW PPP gives a Dial-in Users Authenticate set to "ANY". I have used SET to change this to the other settings and back again. Our Quads which authenticate on the same box are unaffected. The only recent change unique to the hiper chassis is it was switched to a new backbone provider and now has all new IP's. There are no other problems-everyone else can connect fine Other PPP (Mac and PC) are fine, only older PPP programs have problems.

(usr-tc) 4.2.32 and Quads in "BusyOut"
by Charles Sprickman 25 Feb '00

25 Feb '00

Hi, One thing I've noticed since going to 4.2.32 on my ARCs is that my monitoring script shows at least 4 to 8 modems per chassis busied out. A software reset on just the modem will bring it back... Is this a known issue? The only thing that changed was the ARC upgrade, quads have been running the latest since it came out. Also, "list int" will show all of the modems "UP/UP" even when they are busied out. Any ideas?

(usr-tc) Hiper Modem cards failing in certain slots
by Andrew Aken 25 Feb '00

25 Feb '00

We have 2 chassis that seem to randomly drop slots that the HiPer DSP's work in when they are powered down. When the chassis come up, they will have 1-3 DSP's that show 3 yellow lights in the active modems LED's and they will not function no matter how many times they are reset. The only way to get them working again is to move the DSP card pair into another slot on the chassis. On one of our chassis, we only have one more slot that will work with the DSP's left. Does anyone know what the problem might be and how to fix it? I don't think it's a hardware problem. -- ======================================================= =========== Andrew Aken - President ========= ====== GlobalEyes Communications, Inc. ====== =Southern Illinois' Fastest Connection to the Internet= ========== http://www.GlobalEyes.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) IP address change
by Mark Thornton 25 Feb '00

25 Feb '00

Can the ip address and gateway of an Arc and NMC be changed on the fly, or does it require a reboot? We are moving to a new set of IP's and I can migrate the IP pools rather easily, but I'm not sure on the Arc and NMC themselves.

Re: (usr-tc) static to dynamic
by Tatai SV Krishnan 25 Feb '00

25 Feb '00

If you have setup a chassis in which you have programed a slot to be static and save that configuration, once done it will remain static unless and untill removed manually. For your ports to be dynamic, here is what you need to do First remove the port from static configuration Then enable nmc chassis awarenss. When you do a sh nmc you will see three options in there nmc chassis awarness DSA DSA Idle rebla if you have only one hiper arc in the chassis then enable nmc chassis awarness and disable the other two. If you have more than one hyper arc and want to maintain dynamic configuration then enable all three. If you have two hiper arcs and you want to make static configurations disable all the three in nmc chassis awarness and then reboot the card. krish On Wed, 26 Jan 2000, David Swearingin wrote: > You wrote: > > > From: D A Substanley <das(a)gol.com> > > To: usr-tc(a)lists.xmission.com > > Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 12:33:12 +0900 > > Subject: Re: (usr-tc) static to dynamic > > > > > > Enable nmc chassis awareness > > > > das > > Didn't work for me. > > David > > - > To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" > with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message. > For information on digests or retrieving files and old messages send > "help" to the same address.
