RE: (usr-tc) NMC not responding

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.

RE: [USR-TC] Forcing a default route for customer through radius

I was hoping to do it by Radius though. Isn't there a way to do it by framed-route or something like that? Brian Becker President, Poplar Bluff Internet, Inc. http://semo.net P.O.

Check into the Internet Equal Access (IEA) feature. Basically let's you set up per-user default routes. I've not used this feature personally, so I don't know how much help I can be on configuration issues, but I know that's what it does. :) Another option might be to configure the customer as a tunnel user and tunnel them to wherever you need to get their traffic, though there are, obviously, some complications from that. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm(a)iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 _______________________________________________ USR-TC mailing list USR-TC(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/usr-tc

(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.

Configuring the Hiper DSP for DNIS
by Patrick Ndegwa 31 May '02

31 May '02

Hi there. I am trying to configure my Hiper-DSP on a E1/PRI line to accept calls based on the number dialed. I have entered the following entries at the DSP console for each of the modems: ats47.4=0 at%cn1=********* (the 9 digit number dialed into) at%ci1=ATS81=0S76=0 (the init string for the modem) However, I am still picking up calls on all incoming calls made to the DSP with no restrictions on the dialed number. Is there something I haven't done? Cheers, Patrick Ndegwa --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

proxy accounting info from 3com/NT to a Cistron/Linux server
by Graham Van Epps 31 May '02

31 May '02

Hello list! I have a 3com Total Control Hub as my NAS which authenticates some users from an NT server running 3com Security Accounting Server. This server proxyies a certain realm called 'foo' to a Linux server running Cistron RADIUS. So normal users who dial in with just their usernames are authenticated by NT, while users@foo are authenticated by Linux/Cistron RADIUS. In order to limit multiple logins for users of the foo realm, the Cistron server needs to have accounting information proxied to it from the NT server. I made sure to put the IP and secret of the Linux server under the 'RADIUS clients' tab of the 3com SAS Database manager program. Also in the 'advanced features' button, i configured the 'RADIUS Proxy and Tunnel Domains' with the realm name, the auth IP and port, and the acct IP and port. do i need a tunnel name? i did all this and ran a sniffer between the NT and the Linux machines. Plenty of traffic on port 1645 (RADIUS Auth) but none on 1646 (RADIUS Acct). Has anyone sucessfully done what i am trying to do? Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks list! --g

Fw: [USR-TC] DSP 3.5.100
by Justin Kendall 29 May '02

29 May '02

Stephen, I got 3.5.100 from one of the Source-T techs right after it was released so I never used the inital 4.5 release for DSP. As far as I know the 3.5.100 release fixes some MAJOR issues with winmodems and that's about all I know right now. In fact, the tech told me that winmodems almost don't work at all on the first release... I know this code has been delayed since like November of last year but I would have thought that 3Com would have at LEAST tested their own modems with it... I don't see 3.5.100 in the 3Com software matrix so I'm guessing it's not an officeal release yet, just an update. You may be able to fanagle the update out of whoever your reseller was if you think it's worth the trouble. Cheers, Justin Kendall Network Administrator NetEase, Inc.

DSP 3.5.100
by Stephen Amadei 28 May '02

28 May '02

Hello everyone. A few days ago, someone mentioned a version 3.5.100. However, perusing Commworks, I cannot find a technical document for it. Does anyone know the list of fixes? Does it help connection stability? Of course my goddamn support contract just expired, days ago... and I'd like to see if this upgrade helps... as I get around to getting the beancounter around here to renew the contract (though I'd rather not renew). ----Steve Stephen Amadei Dandy.NET!
