(usr-tc) arcs and ospf
by Mike Andrews 26 May '00

26 May '00

I've been having a really bizarre problem off and on the last week or two. Occasionally some of my ARCs will suddenly stop doing OSPF right. The routing table loses all OSPF routes, and the ARC stops announcing its routes via OSPF to our Ciscos. Disabling/enabling OSPF doesn't help, but most of the time (not all the time) rebooting the ARC will. One thing that seemed to trigger it was rebooting some of our Ciscos... and since that happens so infrequently (not rebooted since going to ARC 4.2 in fact) it's hard to track down. I don't know which one exactly, maybe our AS border router dying is what threw it off. It also happened last night when I installed a Cisco Catalyst 2924XL (replacing an old 10BaseT hub, finally!) which didn't involve rebooting the Ciscos, but involved having them unreachable for a minute or two as cables were switched and Spanning Tree did its thing... I have another ARC with no modems on the same LAN (for testing) and it initially did the same thing, but now I'm having trouble reproducing it. When it was screwed up one night, it fixed itself overnight, but it obviously took hours to do, which kinda defeats the purpose of OSPF. I know this is really vague, but problem is, I don't really know where to start looking for this, because I didn't document very well what my current OSPF settings are. (A bulk-config-to-ASCII utility would be REALLY HELPFUL HERE :) I could reverse-engineer HARM and try to get a dump of that part of the config via SNMP somehow, I guess, but... yuck. Anyway, I'm also not a real in-depth OSPF guru yet. Has anyone seen anything like this before or know of any particular settings that I might want to check? This is driving me nuts (not to mention my customers) and I'm not sure where to start.

(usr-tc) Modems not answering on Dual PRI card
by Eric Forcey 06 Apr '00

06 Apr '00

Hello all, I've got a perplexing problem with a dual-pri card feeding into quads. The circuit is set up good signal. Telco shows that they are handing calls to the PRI but they are being refused by my chassis. Line interface is set to pritdm, all ds0's show in service. Dunno where else to check... any ideas? -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) Total Control Netserver - loopstart trunk type and immediate trunk signal start not sticking
by Jeremy Malli 06 Apr '00

06 Apr '00

I'm hoping somebody has an solution for this; I have a USR TC Netserver, running the latest firmware on all the cards that will not allow me to use loopstart and immediate signaling at the same time. I can change the options in TCM, but after I click Set, and then OK, then save the card to NVRAM and reboot, it has magically changed the configs for the trunk signal start back to dialTone. It will keep the loopstart setting, but no matter what trunk signaling type I set it to, it will always revert back to dialtone. Anybody know how to make the immediate start stick?

(usr-tc) MLPPP 2 ARC's 1 chassis
by Paul Farber 01 Apr '00

01 Apr '00

hello all I have a POP with 10 DPS's and 2 ARC's. They DSP's are statically assigned to an ARC, odd cards to ARC1, even cards to ARC2. When an ISDN call comes in, it is possible for each channel to go to a different DPS and different ARC. The ip address is statically assigned from RADIUS. Do the ARC's know what to do in this case? Recently an ISDN customer with an ISDN Office Conenct has been having 'random' problems getting mail, sites, etc. I see the logins, but I was wondering if MLPPP with 2 ARC's in the same chassis would work? And specific settings needed to accomplish this?

(usr-tc) RIP routing won't communicate with Cisco router
by Mark Thornton 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

I had some problems with my border Cisco router yesterday. During the troubleshooting RIP was turned off and the aggregate traffic was passed off to one of the HiperArc's to handle. Since the problem was resolved I have been unable to reestablish the Cisco into the RIP distribution. I reentered the commands that were there before being removed, rebooted the Cisco, disabled and reenabled RIP on the HiperArc's and still no rip routes are showing up on the Cisco. What have I missed? What should I be looking for?

I need to know what affext having a netmask of 255.255.255.255 on a HiperArc might have on its internal routing tables.

Re: (usr-tc) bad modem pairs
by Campbell Simpson 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

Scott telnet to the DSP card via the ARC card (if this is set up). issue "chdev spa" and then "dis ats" you should see the blocked modems. "chdev mdm <modem>" then issue "at-d!" and this will reset the modem pair. The only way to reset the stats is to reset the whole DSP card or the NMC card (I think). Hope this helps Campbell >>> sboggs(a)unitedbank.net 03/31/00 08:53 >>> I have been using the latest DSP software and I notice that I have pairs of modems that are failing connections at much higher rates than the other modems. I have heard some discussion of this. Does anyone know how to reset modem pairs and clear the statistics?
