Setting up RIP
by Lewis Bergman 19 Sep '02

19 Sep '02

I need to set up RIP. RIP is enabled but the number of RIP interfaces is zero. I have tried all the set commands I can think ofand can't find anything that seems to work. I tried the docs at totalcontrol but they seem to be down or busy. If anybody has a clue I would appreciate it. -- Lewis Bergman Texas Communications 4309 Maple St. Abilene, TX 79602-8044 915-695-6962 ext 115

Something else I just thought of - I did just within the last couple weeks install SP3 on both of my IAS machines - might have something to do with it??? Here's what I see in my event log when I try to _auth from a telnet: Event Type: Error Event Source: IAS Event Category: None Event ID: 3 Date: 9/19/2002 Time: 2:31:16 PM User: N/A Computer: RADIUS1 Description: Access request for user foxcomp was discarded.

Just tried to verify a user using the _AUTH USERNAME PASSWORD command from telnet to the ARC and can't do it. Same user CAN authenticate just fine when dialing up. I'm using Win2K/IAS for RADIUS. Event Log shows "Access Request ... discarded". Only info from M$ I could find says that if the client doesn't use a shared secret the request is discarded and ignored. Sounds like maybe my Hiper ARC isn't sending the secret when I do it from a telnet prompt?! Anyone else have this happen? I've monitored the RADIUS - and the ARC is sending requests to both RADIUS servers like it should - 3 requests to RADIUS1, then 3 to RADIUS2, then back to RADIUS1, etc. until it hits the retry limit and fails. No replies ever come back from the RADIUS server. I rebooted my main Radius box, didn't help - didn't expect it to because the problem is occurring when authenticating against both servers. And both servers still authenticating perfectly with dial-up users. Any ideas? Joel

SNTP???

Looking for a setting on the Hiper ARC - I thought there was a way to configure it to synchronize time with an SNTP server. Can't seem to find it - anyone know?

Backup Backhaul over MLPPP help request.
by Adam Barnhill 18 Sep '02

18 Sep '02

I need any and all information available for the following type of situation. Problem - Wcity has just lost it's backhaul. Desired Result - Monitoring software detects that the backhaul is dead and dials into Wcity's CLI. Executes commands to start process of creating backup backhaul. It does this by utilizing 4 modems and nailing up a connection to a larger pop (Zcity). This should be a MLPPP connection. Wcity then directs traffic across this link and through the Zcity backhaul. Both locations use Channelized T1s not PRIs. Since it is unlikely that any one person will have the answers to the whole problem, please help me by contributing any information or links you have regarding these things: Establishing MLPPP LAN-LAN Connections Dialout user/network service setup for such connections. Routing Wcity traffic across such a link On-Demand Routing (Might nail LAN-LAN connections, and default routing?) Found this in a post, but I can't find anything about on-demand routing anywhere else. "You *might* find it easier to use the on-demand routing in the Arc to make the calls. The Arc can look in the user's table for users that can dial to a remote gateway on-demand...it can use this as a default route as well I believe. Alternatively, you could run RIPv2 over this connection from your NETServer and even get dynamic routing on it...or inject default into your RIPv2 cloud and let RIPv2 handle the default." See http://mailman.xmission.com/pipermail/usr-tc/2001-September/004707.html I also tried to figure out how to do it using netserver documentation http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/netmaint/TC/PDFDOCS/NETSERVR/NETFRAME.PDF Initially I expected to simply add a second Default route that wouldn't be used until the main route was down. Assign a modem group for those 4 modems used in the MLPPP connect. Create a user with dialout,network privileges Create a network service for dialout Use the command dial [user] to start the process of the LAN-LAN connection. And of course have changes made to the Cisco routers to make sure they could hit the outside world. However, I seem to be wrong. I haven't been able to nail a connection to Zcity pop, much less route traffic across the link. I know the T1s are two-way and when I attempt to dial the user it goes off hook, but nothing comes of it. Let me know if you have any ideas, or know what I'm doing wrong. This is what I am trying currently: HiperARC 4.2.32 or Newer Client side (caller) Add modem_group <modem_group> interface slot:1/mod:[21-24] add user <username> password <userpass> type dialout,network set network user <username> netWORK_SERVICE ppp set network user <username> IP remotE_IP_ADDRESS <IP address of designated user IP on Host ARC> defaulT_ROUTE_OPTION enable (This should force all Wcity pop traffic over to the designated IP once connected.) set network user <username> ppp Max_CHANNELS 4 set network user <username> senD_PASSWORD <userpass> set network user <username> ppp channel_deCREMENT 20 (decrease modem usage when not needed, at least 20% is required to maintain the channel.) set user <username> modem_group <modem_group> set user <username> phone_number <Zcity dialin number> Host side (called) add user <username> password <userpass> type network set network user <username> netWORK_SERVICE ppp (Should be treated just like the default user) add framed_ROUTE user <username> gateWAY <ARC IP> ip_ROUTE <designated user IP>metriC 1 (hopefully routes all Wcity traffic to the ARC and beyond) set user <username> idLE_TIMEOUT 1200 set user <username> session_TIMEOUT 0 To start the session someone must dialup to the Wcity CLI and issue a Enable user <username> dial <username> To end the session someone must access the Wcity CLI and issue a Disable user <username> Reset modem_group <modem_group> Thanks in advance, -- Adam Barnhill Support Engineer, TotallyFabricated.com Information Technology Engineer, Poplar Bluff Internet, Inc. / Semo.net P.O.

RE: [USR-TC] Interesting Observation

It won't be anyone except USR (or 3Com). X2 was USR...everyone else was doing flex. I believe you are correct though...I noticed the same thing during those times of transitioning to V.90. Still keep my USR Sportster near by....couldn't afford a courier.... :) Rick Team Solunet -----Original Message----- From: Joel - Fox Computers [mailto:jfox@foxcomputers.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 2:19 AM To: usr-tc(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [USR-TC] Interesting Observation Something I thought may be of interest to some - I had the opportunity tonight to play with an old Gateway computer with the old "Telepath 56K with x2" modem in it. I have the software upgrade for V.90 support for it, and could switch back and forth. On a good phone line, I get 53333 x2 connection. Same modem, "upgraded" to V.90 gets only 49.3. On a poor line - x2 does 48000, V.90 does 45.3 at best. I tried this several times and the x2 is noticeably faster browsing web pages and such. The V.90 speeds are the same results I'm getting with most V.90 or V.92 modems on those 2 phone lines. What's more - the x2 connects in 13 seconds - same as I'm getting with V.92 Quick-Connect. Is it just me, or does X2 seem to be better all around? Any manufacturers still making good x2-compatible modems? Just curious if anyone else has noticed this.
