Trap question
by VCI Help Desk 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

I'm getting the following trap from my newest TC and I can't figure out what this trap is. Is there a web site I can use to track down what this is? The trap info below is a copy of what I received in my Castlerock software. This trap appears to be a minor alarm but I don't want it filling up my logs. The xxx.xx and yyy.yy addresses are my primary DNS/Radius servers and secondary DNS/Radius servers. Which service (DNS or Radius) this trap is referring to I don't know. enterprises.429.4.2.2.0.1 [1] enterprises.429.4.2.1.1.0 (IpAddress): 207.162.xxx.xx [2] enterprises.429.4.2.1.2.0 (IpAddress): 207.162.yyy.yy [3] enterprises.429.4.2.1.94.0 (IpAddress): 0.0.0.0 [4] snmpTrapEnterprise.0 (Object ID): enterprises.429.4.2.2 Thanks.

Anyone have an extra console cable for the TC you can part with? If so, how much you want for it? Thanks, Joel

Looks like a robot with 8 eyes. Might have to get one on my house just to scare the neighbor kids. :-) -----Original Message----- From: Terry Kennedy [mailto:terry@olypen.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 3:55 PM To: usr-tc(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [USR-TC] Omnilux gear This is totally offbase: But has anyone heard of these Omnilux systems -- infrared laser things. http://www.omnilux.net Sounds interesting but looks to have the same problem as the wireless gear with line of sight restrictions and so on. Is this is too far off topic just ignore it.

PPP Offloading Enabled puts the framing on the DSP and off the ARC. -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Coombs [mailto:jcoombs@gwi.net] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 1:28 PM To: usr-tc(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [USR-TC] PPP Offloading Has a concensus been reached as to which setting keeps ppp framing on the DSP and off the ARC? I'm running chassis with 7 multispan DSPs, and a single ARC in each, if I can take load off the ARC by moving PPP framing that seems like a win to me. (Assuming the multispans won't be overstressed with the extra load.)

I currently have one working cable, it's actually the USR RJ45-DB25, with a DB25-Db25 Null Modem Adapter, followed by a DB25-Db9 standard modem cable. I pinned it out myself and got this, which is pretty different than what most people say it should be. I'm thinkin' this is why so many people have problems with home-made cables.

RE: [USR-TC] IP address Pool questions

-----Original Message----- From: Jim Mc Cay [mailto:jmccay@adsnet.com] Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 2:32 PM To: usr-tc(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [USR-TC] IP address Pool questions Hello, I have a Chassis that is populated with 14 Hiper DSP cards, 2 Hiper Arc Router cards and 1 Hiper NMC. I need to setup the odd # dsp cards to use the 1st router card and the even # dsp cards to use the 2nd router card. My second task is on each card I've been asked to setup a separate IP address pool. Example: DSP card in slot 1, assign an address pool starting with 192.168.0.1 that has 24 addresses. slot 3, assign an address pool starting with 192.168.0.25 that has 24 addresses. And so on, so forth. Any takers on this issue? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, jim _______________________________________________ Jim, The easiest way is to setup DNIS authentication. BUT each trunk NEEDS it's own phone number!!!! If you do not do it this way, I do not believe you can bind an ip pool to a DSP. I have looked, and tried, and failed! Here is the idea. Phone Number - TRUNK 1 - 321-555-1212 Phone Number - TRUNK 2 - 321-555-1213 With DNIS auth, build two users -> 1212 / 1213. That is if your telco passes 4 DNIS digits. Create private pools for your IP POOLS. Then with-in the each DNIS user, assign them to an IP POOL. This is the cistron dictionary attribute: USR-Framed_IP_Address_Pool_Name = "special" What it should do is to authenticate against RADIUS using the DNIS, and have the POOL assigned. Then it will authenticate the user. It would be required to do a two Step Authentication in order to first Authenticate the DNIS Digits & Then secondly to Authenticate the user. 1.Set the Switched Interface or the Modem groups On the HiPerARC: add modem_group dnisgroup1 interface<interfaces> enabled yes set modem_group dnisgroup1 dnis_authentication required set modem_group dnisgroup1 dnis_auth_type dnis set modem_group dnisgroup1 dnis_auth_time before_answer ( Depending on what the telco is sending) Set switched interface<interface>dnis_auth_time before_answer If the TELCO is sending 2 DNI Digits to indicate 01 for Calls have Caller ID blocked & 00 for calls having Caller ID unblocked. If you want the Caller ID blocked Calls to be dropped & the Caller ID unblocked calls to be sent to the modems then create a user 00as add user 00 password<xyz>type network ( Make sure you give a password if not this will not work) Now whenever a user calls in he will first be authenticated based on the DNI Digits & then he will be re authenticated by the radius if he is in the Radius or if he is in the hiper ARC he will be authenticated by the HiperARC. If the user has his CallerID blocked then TELCO will be passing 01.This will fail the first Authentication so the user will be dropped. Now if the user dials in with his CallerID unblocked so the TELCO will then pass 00 which will be Authenticated & so will proceed to the second Authentication by the RADIUS or the HIPER ARC depending on where the user is. If you do not want this, why not just change your IP pools to go in order? NO BREAKS! That is the most simplest way. I can see your reasoning to why you want it, but it may not be feasible with out adding multiple trunks!!
