I've found that "disc user" from the ARC CLI will send an accounting STOP record, however, a "reset modem slot:x/mod:y" won't, thereby causing ghost records in the RADIUS tracking. It might be something to look out for if you try to reset the actual interfaces via SNMP.

(usr-tc)Disconnect User Problem
by bert.f＠pacific.net.ph 22 Dec '99

22 Dec '99

Good day, Any one having problems with disconnecting users in TC? While i'm on the command prompt, i do a "disconnect user xxx" and it doesn't disconnect user at tha time you have to issue a series of same command before you will be prompting "CLI - user not found." i'm doing this because of simultaneous username that are logged in. Although we a script in killing simultanoues login, i found out that its having a long delay of disconnecting the user sometimes. Did any any one encountered this kind of problem?

The danger is if there is any problem in the reporting of accounting packets to the radius server, or if the radius server is offline for a few minutes, the logoffs may be missed. In that case the radius would deny access even though the client had dropped offline. The later versions of the software we use had several features to combat this. First, if another user logged in using the same port as on open session the system closed it because it obviously was disconnected. Second, we lengthened out the retry interval on accounting packets as well as the number of retries. Theoretically our radius could be down for 20+ minutes and still receive the accounting packets and resynchronize when it started back up. Of course if your radius is down for 20+ minutes...

(usr-tc) NT dns and HARC 4.2.29/32
by Scott Boggs 21 Dec '99

21 Dec '99

I was running HARC 4.2.29 and Winnt DNS servpack 3. Today I upgraded NT to sp6a. The TC completely freaked out. Default route disappeared, could not find any way to add it back. Kept saying "gateway IP is not in local network", but all devices are in the same ether switch. All dial in calls were dead in the water, no routing what so ever. Upgraded to HARC 4.2.32. Did not fix problem. Fell back to WinNT sp3. Did not fix problem. I had to rebuild the Harc config from scratch. question--- I still need to upgrade NT to sp6a. Does anyone know of any reason why this might have happened? Any similar experiences/co-incidences? Dare I try the NT upgrade again? I am now on HARC 4.2.32.

(usr-tc) PCSDL, is there some sort of trick to this?
by das 21 Dec '99

21 Dec '99

I've read all of the documentation. I've now got some remote NMCs that have become unreachable via TCM. I figure that I need to go there and reflash them via PCSDL. I've never had to do this before, so I did my homework. This is what I'm typing: pcsdl -p1 -r9600 -vsd5.4.1 -vna5.2.2 -nsdnm -nnanm This should be all you need correct? It keeps giving me the following error message: Error: No such file or directory. So, I tried using the -d flag to specify C:\usr_sdl . But, that didn't seem to have any affect. Any ideas? I don't want to have to go all the way out there tomorrow without any way to bring these cards up.

Re: (usr-tc) PCSDL, is there some sort of trick to this?
by Steve Valiunas 21 Dec '99

Close, I think you've got the wrong SDL file version though- Try this: pcsdl -p1 -r9600 -vsd3.2.0 -vna5.2.2 -nsdnm -nnanm I recommend you bump the speed up to 57600 instead of 9600 though (flip dipswitches 1&2 up on the card & use -r57600). You're trying to flash it with the 5.2.2 code, right? Sometimes it helps if you reseat the NMC after starting the PCSDL if it doesn't take off right away.
