Re: (usr-tc) Radius accounting

Scot, It sounds like you shouldn't use the secondary server option - turn them off. Check out the first 4 lines of "sh accounting". They show your "primary" and first/second "backup" servers. You obviously know how to set the primary already.... the first and second backups can be set by the commands: set accounting_backup primary first_server x.x.x.x set accounting_backup primary second_server x.x.x.x You may also like to check the "Authentication Algorithm" with "sh radius settings", and then adjust it with "set radius authentication_algorithm". Sounds to me like you need the fall_through option. -- Vance McIndoe Data Platforms, Operations, Telecom NZ Ltd. +64-6-3507004 >>> scot(a)njaccess.net 20/06/00 12:57:45 >>> What is the difference between "Primary backup accounting server" and "Secondary accounting server" on the HARC?

I am currently using the secondary accounting field, and that server is getting all requests even when the primary is functioning fine. -- Scot - 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) SNMP Trap 120?
by Carl Litt 20 Jun '00

20 Jun '00

Quick question: What is NMC Enterprise Specific Trap 120, and where might I find the MIB file for it? I get this trap many times a day from a single DSP card, and can't get rid of it. The card seems to operate fine, and the trap settings were loaded from another card in the chassis. Also, where would I find the latest MIB for the ARC 4.2.32? There was discussion about ARC objects in the past, but I couldn't find them in my file. It's probably out of date, but I can't find a newer one.

if you hilight either span (ie not the whole card), select the configuration, PRI Trunk Settings. The option is Primary Switch Type Set. I'm not sure what the right choice would be given your telco's switch type.

(usr-tc) DOSBS (a.k.a DOV) on HyperDSPs?
by Dave Martin 19 Jun '00

19 Jun '00

Does anyone know whether the new 4.0 release supports ISDN DOSBS calls on the HyperDSPs? This did *not* work on earlier releases and we've been using a chassis w/ Dual-PRI and Quads as a workaround which we'd like to stop doing. I read the release notes for the DSP, but nothing jumped out at me.

(usr-tc) How to do dialback with the TC?
by Ernie Pritchard 19 Jun '00

19 Jun '00

Is anyone doing ISDN callback with a arc? I have been trying to get this working with both a cisco 766 and a pipeline 75. I was unable to get the harc to do anything with the dialback configuration setup in the radius server <usr SA ver 6.0.8>, after fooling around with the config in the arc I was able to get the arc to callback. Im not sure if it is calling the router analog or isdn since its not working. Im running 4.2.32 on the arc and heres an example of the configuration. set modem_group all access two_way add user <username> password <password> type network,callback set user <username> callback_type static phone_number xxxxxxx set network user <username> ip remote_ip_address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx With this configuration the remote user hits the chassis and then gets disconnected. Ive spoken with support at 3com and the tech said that when the chassis calls back it does not auth with the remote side, this just sounds a little odd.

RE: (usr-tc) Dual PRI CARD

also make sure you have the channel->modem assignment set up correctly...or alternatively have it set to first available or round robin in which case you don't need to do the channel->modem assignment. Other than that, all you should really need to confirm is the framing, coding, and switch type options. You should be able to troubleshoot with your switch people to see whether the switch is sending the call to you or if you're getting a busy because the switch thinks you're unable to take calls. If they see the call being sent to you, you have a problem accepting the call either because there's no modem available or the arc is refusing it for some reason. If the switch is just refusing to talk to you, it is most likely a signalling issue...assuming that, as mentioned before, there are no alarms.

(usr-tc) Dual PRI CARD
by Lou Bernstein 19 Jun '00

19 Jun '00

Hi All I need a little help here. I have a TC with a HIPER ARC, several HIPER DSP cards, some Quad Digital cards and a Dual PRI-Card NAC. I have been running for a long time with the HIPER DSP cards without problems. I now need to run the Quad cards and can not seem to get the Dual PRI card to work(it did work at one time). The PRI line is coming from a Lucent Definity 3G switch and works fine with the Hiper DSP cards. When I connect the PRI line to the Dual PRI card all I get is a busy signal, the link does show that it is up and there are no alarms.. The Dual PRI card has the following configuration Framing Mode ds1esf Line Coding b8zs Response to remote loopback ignore Auto Busy disabled Dial In Address No Address Dial-in/Dial-out Signal WINK ACK WINK Enabled Dial in Trunk type E&M TYPE II The settings above are set similarly on the Hiper DSP card. Any help would appreciated. Thanks in advance LOU - 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) And you thought you were frustrated with 3COM
by Scot Desort 19 Jun '00

19 Jun '00

Is anyone else here on the Ascend users list? Whew - there are some VERY angry people on that list. While I have never had to go to Lucent for support, what these people are describing makes things at 3COM look bright and sunny. Top-tier engineering support calls being ignored. Technicians who don't know the products. RMA and warranty claims not being addressed. It's worse than any complaints I've seen on the 3COM list. I *was* considering picking up some Ascend gear to compliment my 3COM stuff, but I am seriously reconsidering that. So, what's left - Ci$co? Are they the only company that provides the kind of support ISP's need? They usually seem to do most everything right. I don't know -- think I'll stick it out with 3COM and see if all of the newly found resources available from the drop of their switches actually *does* go into the ISP/Carrier division. -- Scot - 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) Config for Dual BRI Cisco to TC
by Verreault, John 19 Jun '00

19 Jun '00

I am trying to get a cisco 4000 with 2 BRI interfaces to connect to a Total Control Chassis. (I am not sure if you can MPP over both BRI's, if not I would settle for MPP for each BRI and load balance over the 2 multilinked BRI's) I am having some problems with the second BRI. I cannot get a stable connection. I am assigning the BRI interface a static IP and specifying the route with radius. Should the second interface have the same static IP address or a different one. I have tried several variations without success. Does anyone have a sample config they can send me or point me in the right direction.
