Thus spake Jeremy Shaffner
About a week ago, one of our NMC stopped responding, both to SNMP and to ICMP pings. Yet the HARC indicates that the NMC has at least gotten the SNMP requests:
HiPer>> show nmc status
NMC STATUS Last NMC Query was received at: 14-MAR-2000 12:12:11
Actually...this has nothing to do with SNMP requests to the NMC. This has to do with the NMC sending chassis awareness queries over the management bus to the Arc. This *does* indicate that the NMC is at least minimally functional...but does not indicate anything about the network connectivity of the NMC. It sounds like your NMC has lost all ability to communicate via its ethernet...not much to do other than head out there to power cycle. :/ Fortunately, none of this should be disruptive to your service. Have you tried pinging the NMC from the local subnet? Maybe from the Arc? Is it possible that the NMC has just lost its default gateway setting? I wouldn't hold out much hope for this, but the possibility exists. Not that this helps you much...but it would be another indication to the functionality of the NMC as it exists currently. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
