(usr-tc) 16MB NMC dead after flashing
by Blue Moon Network Administrator 06 Dec '99

06 Dec '99

Flashed the NMC up to nm060009 and after 40 minutes of waiting after it reported success and said it was checking nac status with the RN/FL light flashing green and hub status off entirely we tried resetting the NMC via the console. That brought it back to the same state, RN/FL light flashing green and hub status off totally. I removed the NMC NAC and that didn't help then pulled the backend NIC and that didn't help. Also shutdown the chassis entirely and that didn't change anything. I'm still stuck at the flashing green RN/FL light and get nothing on the console except an occasional single character when the nic/nac is reinserted. How do I get it back? Can I use the NORMAL/CLEAR jumper on the NAC to get it into some kind of dumb mode where I can upload some firmware to it to at least get back to where I started? How long should an NMC upgrade actually take on a clear switched lan? J.

(usr-tc) Kudos to Netdoor

Didn't know if anyone else saw the Inter@active week article (Nov. 29, vol. 6, no. 49) where they did a nice article on Netdoor and Marshall Morgan "Opening the Net Doors in Jackson". Its interesting seeing familiar faces here in print.......and I can sort of relate to the article being in Louisiana which isn't that far (geographically and economic wise) from Mississippi.

(usr-tc) NMC resolved, on to DSP 2.0.60
by Blue Moon Network Administrator 03 Dec '99

Ok the 16MB NMC NAC is at 6.1.17 The ARC NAC is at 4.1.25 The DSP NAC's are 1.2.5 TCM is 6.0.23 I'm back in TCM, I go to software download, select Slot2 DSP with the check mark, select the hd020060.dmf file and when I tell it to start the DL it pops up a Slot2 requestor which says "Error Reading File Description" I repeat the processes trying with hd020810.dmf and it does the same thing. WHEE, I'm still an idiot.....! J.

Our strings were set, we never leave them at the defaults. It looks like the NMC is dead, just stays in the SDL state with the green RN/FL flashing and no other lights. I don't think the PC SDL will even begin to talk to it.... I don't know what versions the -n and -v options want put in, nothing is explained and nothing works. pcsdl -p2 -r57600 -vSD6.0.9 -vNA3.2.0 -nSDnm -nNAnm ^ I don't know what version it means by Operation Code Version, what exactly is Operation Code? Is tha existing code or the sdl file version and if it is the sdl version file how do you find the version, the file is named nm030200.sdl and there is no mention of it anywhere else. None of this is explained in the pdf files and I have found no reference in the only searchable list archiev available. Why is this all so cryptic and why is it not explained anywhere in available documentation. I have been reading PDF files for three days and have not once seen a pcsdl explanation other than just do it. Is it part of the pay us tech support money mentality to be able to do simple things? This is maddening and it just seems to get worse, now our HARC TC is totally unusable. J.

I believe 6.0.9 is for a 4 meg nmc.

(usr-tc) SNMP bug?
by farber＠admin.f-tech.net 03 Dec '99

03 Dec '99

Hello all... I have a neat-o little php3 script that shows me users, time on line, speed, and bytes in/out. Several users will be on for 1hr+ but have 0 bytes in/out. I did a mon PPP on the modem and got: Incoming PPP Data on interface: slot:3/mod:2 LCP ECHO_REQ 28 0c 3e bb e3 d0 95 a1 Outgoing PPP Data on interface: slot:3/mod:2 LCP ECHO_RPLY 81 e7 42 27 Incoming PPP Data on interface: slot:3/mod:2 LCP ECHO_REQ 28 0c 3e bb 0c 04 60 66 Outgoing PPP Data on interface: slot:3/mod:2 LCP ECHO_RPLY 81 e7 42 27 meaning that they *are* there. Wouldn't the idle timeout handle this? I verified my script with TCM and it also showed 0 in/out with online time of 1hr+.

(usr-tc) Stalling web pages w/TC products
by Cheryl Johnson 03 Dec '99

03 Dec '99

We have been having problems recently showing up with the TC chassis. We are using the HiPerARC and DSP with channelized T1s. The software version is ARC 4.1.59-6 and DSP 1.2.37 and testing 2.0.60 on some DSP cards. Customers are beginning to complain about web pages are timing out from more than one POP site. Strange thing is nothing has been changed on the chassis except the radius server. Checked the configs but nothings seems different. Anyone have any idea what could be the problem? Any ideas are appreciated. Cheryl Johnson Network Administrator Seidata Network Services, Inc. http://www.seidata.com

Hi Dave, Y2K certificate is redeemable direct from http://w3n.3com.com/cso/y2kweb.nsf/home+page?openform. Once at this page select : A) "product status listing" at the top, B) Depending on the product they want certified click on that (ex: click on Corebuilder), C) Click on the specific product within that family (ex: click on Corerbuilder 7000). This will tell what software is supported and then "Click here to prepare a certification" to print out 3Com certified letter. Do an inventory report first. hope this helps, regards, FN - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
