Console Port Pinout

I noticed that the 3com document I posted earlier seemed strangely difficult to visualize, so I thought I would post this easy layout for anyone else who felt the same way. I figure most of you are familiar with network cables and I personally found Cat5 cable easier to locate. ;) For those of you that might be worried about the wire gauge, I tested it and it works like a charm! I'm using an 8Ft cable now and it looks very professional. 3Com Console Cable - Custom Cable RJ45 to DB9: RJ45-T568b DB9 1.White/Orange White/Green 2.Orange Green 3.White/Green White/Blue 4.Blue Orange 5.White/Blue Blue 6.Green White/Orange 7.White/Brown White/Brown 8.Brown Brown The DB9 hardware can be found at RadioShack for around 5$. I bought the Solder Type, but Crimpable are also available.

IP Filtering
by Lee Terrell 16 Jan '03

16 Jan '03

Hi All, I've been going around in circles with this scenario for awhile now and I think I've finally re-read the HiperARC manual enough to scramble my thoughts, so I thought I would check here to see if anyone might be able offer some simplification. Since we got our first total control unit 4 yrs ago, we've always had issues when it comes to giving access to users with a specified Filter-Id assigned in RADIUS. Rather than try to figure them out, the previous admin here just let them slide out of the way, and now they have fallen to my list. What we want to accomplish is to force customers that have requested to use a content filter proxy service through the proxy, or else they can't pull up any sites at all. Filters on the Ascend gear we have work great, but I've been over the 3com setup so much now I've confused my thoughts. What we do is assign a Filter-Id = 04 in RADIUS. Then on the HiperARC I have copied over my filter, and saved as both 04 and 04.in. I've executed "add filter 04" and "add filter 04.in" followed with "set interface slot:1/mod:[1-23] filter_access on" for each slot, and also "enable ip address_pool_filtering" Here is what my filter looks like: #filter IP: 001 AND src-addr = 0.0.0.0/0; 011 ACCEPT dst-addr = 10.1.1.28; 021 AND dst-addr = 0.0.0.0/0; 031 REJECT tcp-src-port = 80; 041 AND dst-addr = 0.0.0.0/0; 051 REJECT tcp-src-port = 70; 061 AND dst-addr = 0.0.0.0/0; 071 REJECT tcp-src-port = 21; 081 AND dst-addr = 0.0.0.0/0; 091 REJECT tcp-src-port = 20; 101 AND dst-addr = 0.0.0.0/0; 111 REJECT tcp-src-port >= 1024; When users with the Filter-Id assigned try to connect, syslog shows: Facility "IP", Level "CRITICAL":: IP, FILTER_APPLY_RSP failed (ES_NOT_PROC) Searching through the manual, it says this message happens when a filter is not defined in the HiperARC table, but I can see them listed. I added the .in filter since the manual seemed to reference using RADIUS based filters with .in and .out extensions. If I understand the process right, I should not be assigning the filters to each interface on the TC, since that would force all users connected to go through the proxy, and instead the Filter-Id from RADIUS should tell the TC which filter to assign to the user. Is this logic correct or do I have something wrong? If anyone could offer some info as to what the proper name for the filter file should be either on the HiperARC or in RADIUS, or if you see others parts in my procedure that could stand to be changed, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks for your time, Lee Terrell

Re: [USR-TC] is 10 cards to much for one hiper dsp and non hiper nmc?

ah. that is my problem... i have tcm 3.5 and 8.? but no 4.0 i thought i was just stupid and missing something... i ordered the dual 130's to be safe. its just so confusing what you need to do what when you haven't really had to think about the total control stuff for a long time because it just keeps on working without having to touch it. i think i'm going to try dual hiper arc's with 10 hiper dsp pri cards and dual 130's. i have a non-hiper nmc card. i would like to be able to flash my hiper dsp's and upgrade my hiper arc but i only have the tcm v 3.5 and version 8 i don't really want to replace the nmc card to a hiper nmc if i don't have to. how big is the demand for v.92? we have only had a few calls for it. i am more interested in maintaining the quality of the connections for people in general and i was having concerns about 10 cards with only 1 hiper arc and only dual 70am power supplies. matthew At 04:50 PM 1/15/2003 -0600, you wrote: >I have a location with 10 HiperDSPs(T1), a 64MB HiperARC, a 16MB NMC and >two 70s. > >We don't seem to have any problems running this way, but we don't do any >extra routing or tunnels with the ARC. >If you are wanting to utilize OSPF or anything I would suggest you put >in a HiperARC with 128MB.

is 10 cards to much for one hiper dsp and non hiper nmc?
by Adam Barnhill 15 Jan '03

15 Jan '03

I have a location with 10 HiperDSPs(T1), a 64MB HiperARC, a 16MB NMC and two 70s. We don't seem to have any problems running this way, but we don't do any extra routing or tunnels with the ARC. If you are wanting to utilize OSPF or anything I would suggest you put in a HiperARC with 128MB. But we have had success with the following code versions. HiperDSP 2.1.9 HiperARC 4.2.32 upgrade to 5.0.9 for TCS 4.0 NMC 7.1.8 I'm not sure about your speed question... SNMP access is much better if you upgrade to the NMC333 and the newest ARC but I'm not sure that alone makes it worth it. If you would only be upgrading to hiperARC128 and HiperNMC, it's unlikely you would see much improvement, but you would open your ability to upgrade to TCS 4.3 and with dual 130s up to TCS4.7 As far as call handling goes, I've not noticed a problem using the older Cardsets. With a non-HiperNMC you are limited to TCS 4.0, so keep that in mind when you think of V.92 :) -- Adam Barnhill Support Engineer, TotallyFabricated.com Information Technology Engineer, Poplar Bluff Internet, Inc. / Semo.net P.O.

Routing a Subnet (.248)
by pferraro＠wna-linknet.com 15 Jan '03

15 Jan '03

Have an ISDN customer that wants 6 IPs in a subnet for his end. We are using TC hubs and we have assigned a static IP of xxx.xxx.88.193 with a Framed-IP- Netmask of 255.255.255.248 (/29) They make the connection and get the static IP assigned, but we can not Ping the IP. I would like to know if there is some "Magic" we need to do on the TC HUBs to allow all of this to work. We have other clients that use the SINGLE static IP to manage clients behind there netowrk. Any guidance appreciated Phillip ------------------------------------------------- WebMail Services Provided By WorldNet Access ------------------------- This E-Mail Was Scanned For Viruses by RAV@WorldNet Access -------------------------

Re: [USR-TC] All 0's hell

Yup, 3 /24's per box, so 24 /24's total in use. The snapshot below is from a box that is almost constantly running at 90% or higher capacity. All the other tc's follow suit, topping out about where this one does for ip pool utilization. For giggles we through a 4th /24 on one, with no change in the rate of '0.0.0.0' connects.
