RE: (usr-tc) RE: (USR-TC) CISCO ROUTER

Cisco has a list of approved third-party memory vendors that you can use. In speaking with a technician about upgrading some routers, he gave me vendor part numbers and everything. I'm quite sure Kingston was on the list as well. One thing I did run into lately was early early early revisions of the 2500 series not taking Kingston memory due to some kind of requirement for an intel chip ID.

Your input was helpful. I did find that Kingston sells Cisco memory at 40% of what Cisco asks for it. Does anyone else have cheap sources ? Regular memory does seem to work but I can't get an answer from Cisco what is "special" about their memory other than the price.

(usr-tc) Cisco router bandwidth
by jeff.binkley＠asacomp.com 15 May '00

15 May '00

A few weeks back there was a discussion here on the amount of memory required for a Cisco router running in a multihomed environment and BGP4. The recommendation was 128M of memory. I am interested in how much bandwidth into the Internet folks are seeing BGP4 use in this type of environment. Is it a significant amount ? Can someone put a quantity around it ?

(usr-tc) Slow Chassis?
by Mark Thornton 10 May '00

10 May '00

One of my TCH hiperarc systems has dropped it's total throughput to about 65% of my other chassis's. They are all similarly configured with 48 quad modems and 48 dsp modems. All have hiperarcs and standard nmc's. The configuration appears to be the same across the chassis's. What would account for this? How should I go about troubleshooting it?

(usr-tc) Stalling modems.

10 May '00

*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* Hello. had anyone experienced problems with modems on Hiper DSP that get stalled?. I've 5 DSP managed by 1 Hiper ARC. The problem is sometimes when the dialup users are tx/rx something, the user's modems just stops to receive for a while (1 minute aprox). Then, the tx/rx flow continues. At the begining blamed the sites the users visit, but this stalls happen also with the servers in the same lan segment where the Hiper ARC resides. Any ideas what should be happening?

(usr-tc) What happened to DSP code updates???
by Scot Desort 10 May '00

Anybody find it strange that there have been no DSP code updates from 3COM since December 99? And that was only really a service update for .54 and .55 firmware with some other minor fixes. I mean, come on, the code isn't that good that it hasn't needed any updates in 5 months. Is anyone still working over there in engineering? -- Scot - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
