RE: (usr-tc) NMC not responding
by Mark E. Levy 06 May '03

06 May '03

I;ve had this happen a few times. Just reboot the NMC card by sliding it out if the chassis or via the console interface and it will be well again (until next time). Rebooting the NMC won't affect active users sessions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark E.

(usr-tc) FW: [datacomm] Secret access to TCs
by Brian Becker 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

The newest edition to our IT Department (he's been in Tech Support for 3 years) emailed me this afternoon (full email below). I didn't believe him at first so I telneted to on of our TC boxes and when prompted with "Login:" I typed adm and pressed Enter. HOLY COW! It said "Hiper:" and I had full access. I'm curious as to how many people on this list were vulnerable like us (we have 20 TC boxes throughout Southeast Missouri). Brian Brian Becker President, Poplar Bluff Internet, Inc. P.O.

(usr-tc) Upgraded TC's
by Mark Thornton 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

We jsut upgraded our TC chassis to the lastest available code (yes we paid for support) and the phones have stopped ringing. We always had a certain level of calls with various connection problems of one sort or another, but that seems to have dried up in the week since we installed the new code. We made the decision to go with the paid support over replacement of our chassis strictly on financial grounds. There was no way to amortize new equipment costs for our dialup market. Yes, it blows to have to pay for something others get for free, however I must say the support I have gotten is so much better than what I ever got from 3Com directly. There has been no backlash from the new code that I have found which is also a welcome change.

HiperDSP v3.1.7 Reboots (anyone else?)
by Marshall Morgan 25 Nov '01

25 Nov '01

We are getting reports from our internal monitoring system saying cards are rebooting (less than 96, 15 minute intervals in the following mib after 24 hours). We haven't double checked it with online logs yet, but I believe they are correct. Anyone else getting these? (cards 1025, 4025, 5025 rebooted based on the SNMP results): transmission.18.6.1.4.1025 = 63 transmission.18.6.1.4.2025 = 96 transmission.18.6.1.4.3025 = 96 transmission.18.6.1.4.4025 = 51 transmission.18.6.1.4.5025 = 53 transmission.18.6.1.4.6025 = 96 transmission.18.6.1.4.7025 = 96 transmission.18.6.1.4.8025 = 96 transmission.18.6.1.4.9025 = 96 NOTE: For the record: Cards were flashed no more than 6 at a time via a HiperNMC (v8.2.7) and TCM 8.2.6, restored defaults on template 1, saved template to NVRAM, restore from NVRAM, refreshed channels, same T1/E1 and modems to NVRAM and then rebooted again.
