Hello, We've lost the router that provides backhaul at one of our POPs in downtown Manhattan. Our equipment is in the restricted zone east of the World Trade Center area, so we are unable to reach it for repairs, and have so far been unable to contact the personnel on duty for assistance in verifying the status of the router. As a workaround, I'm looking to do some hackery. The only POP we have physical access to has lots of spare POTS lines, and an old Netserver-based 45A chassis. The crippled POP has ARCs, and I can dial in and authenticate locally to get access to the CLI. What I would like to do is the following: -set up a local user on the arc that has no session timeout and allows up to 8 sessions to be bonded together with MLPPP -set up the netserver to dial out on 8 POTS lines to the crippled location and log in as the user set up above -set the default route on the ARC to point to the dial-in session Essentially I want to get bandwidth from POP to POP via 8 POTS lines as a band-aid measure until I can get to the crippled POP to replace/reboot/repair the router. It will be slow, but... better than nothing, which is what we've got. My main problems are: -can I point default to a dialed-in session on the arc, and how -my netserver skills have really faded... -I'm thinking I'll get stuck on MLPPP, setting up the local user to dial out, and nailing the session up. Anyone around that can answer that arc question (and give some hints on making a local user) and/or remembers a good deal about the netserver cli?
