When PPP offloading is enabled, then the DSP handles it? Correct? Or is it the other way around? -----Original Message----- From: Ved [mailto:ved@iyka.com] Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2003 8:37 PM To: usr-tc(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [USR-TC] PPP offloading - anyone figure it out? Paul, PPP offloading - There are two ways how ppp framing is done in the ARC. One way is to set the ARC to do the PPP framing and the other way is to have the HDSP to do the PPP framing. Basically when we talk about PPP framing we are talking about the checking the ppp frame striping the headers etc. The modem or the HDSP uses hardware to strip the PPP headers, and to recreate them when sending out while the arc uses software. Technically for speed using the modem/HDSP to strip the PPP framing is good for you use the hardware asic that is faster. Yes the ARC can handle seven DSP's worth of ppp framing that is not the issue but would like to know what caused you to play with the ppp offloading in the first place.

PPP offloading - anyone figure it out?
by Paul Farber 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

This is probibly an old issue... but has anyone ever come up with a good explination of PPP offloading, and.. in what situations should I enable/disable it? I went through about 4 weeks of users connecting, verifying, then dropping. Out of panic I disabled PPP offloading on both arcs in the chassis and my phone has not rung in hours. The $64 question... what did I do? Why did it happen? The TCS 4.5 docs say that PPP offloading controls what card does PPP framing.. the ARC(?) or the modem/DSP(?)... and thats it. Can an ARC card handle 7 DSP's worth of PPP framing work? sho cpu utiliaztion showed all 0% util. Anyone got an idea on what happened?

need help setting software to receive traps...
by matthew＠the-spa.com 01 Mar '03

01 Mar '03

ok. i use ipmonitor from mediahouse/deepmetrix to monitor all of my stuff. it has a way to receive snmp traps and page me if they don't match a certain criteria... i have the info from the usr tc help file... usrds0StatDs0SrvcState MIB Information: usrds0StatDs0SrvcState 1.3.6.1.4.1.429.1.28.2.1.5 optional read-only Description: This is the current service state of a DS0. This object does not apply to Rob Bit T1 operation. Settings: INTEGER Syntax Ref. Type: ENUM (1) = notSupported (2) = inService (3) = localOutOfService (4) = maintenance (5) = remoteOutOfService (6) = blocked (7) = unblocked so i setup my chasis where if there is any sort of a ds0 out of service or in maintenance mode etc. it will send a trap to the ip of my machine that is setup to receive those traps... the tricky part is that in the software to receive the traps it doesn't have a lot of documentation. my options are "enterprise oid" so for that i think i need to put "1.3.6.1.4.1.429.1.28.2.1.5" and then it asks me for "Data object data (oid) i'm not sure what to put there. i can also have it page me based on the numbered response equaling a certain number, or being greater than or less than a certain number. the docs say that 1 is unused, and 2 is normal in service, so would that mean it is safe to have it page me for anything greater than 2? also, how do i know which span it is? in the oid numbers is there a field that tells me which span/card it is? matthew

(H)ARC commands question
by alex 01 Mar '03

01 Mar '03

I have a question about some (H)ARC's commands: enable ppp radius_challenge_with_pap - what does this command do? set switched interface prompt_style remote ? how does it work? (I have read comand reference for this version of ARC but there aren't explained those commands).
