Try the standard username and identical password combinations of: debug debug admin admin survey survey Less common: sysadmin sysadmin If those don't work, the story gets harder. I guess you can't just ask the person you bought it from for a userid/passwd? Let us know how you go...

Hi Guys, a common 'gotcha' occurs when swapping hardware connected to a 7480 etc port where the MAC address changes - be aware that you may need to "clear vr/xxx ip arp dyn/*" (you can also be more selective in the dynamic arp entry that you delete if you can/wish) Looks like you haven't...

Hi Rainman, the answer to most of your questions is "depends what cards you're running". There's documentation to address just this topic. Or alternatively, yes, just max out the per-port allocations to allow the most connections. This might be easiest to do by modifying your standard procedure...

Hi nortelhawk, there was a similar discussion a while ago that I and a couple of others chipped in on (partial text copied below). Check out the original post from msharma on 30 Aug 2004. Let us know if it is (or is not) a ComfortNoiseCap problem. msharma (IS/IT--Manageme) Aug 30, 2004 Hi I...

Hi bigmike. You would need to set your WRT54G to something OTHER than 192.168.0.1 because that is the IP address of the dlink and they can't both be the same. They need to have the same netmask (to specify that they are both in the same subnetwork) but have different IP addresses within that...

Hi kashnortel, guaranteeing that an indivdual DLCI is using a particular trunk at any point in time may be difficult - especially if you have a large number of DLCs and trunks available to route them. By default, Passport trunks use a "load spreading" algorithm where all packets of the first VC...

Using PPP is one way, but you also may want to try setting the encapsulation on the cisco interface to "encapsulation frame-relay ietf", rather than just "encapsulation frame-relay". The 'IETF' version is the standards-based FR - without the IETF modifier, ciscos use the cisco proprietary FR...

Hi jimis, I tried to submit a reply but my web session went sad. Sorry if both posts turn up... So you know you need to "save vsr/1 svs/1 framer pcm" once you've done the start/stop? This will save the capture file to something like mvpPcmCapture.c10.p00.t01 (in the root directory - "ls fs")...

At the moment I am only online at work so unfortunately I can't set up and offer you an FTP site etc... Firstly, I'd stay on Nortel's back about getting your logon! Call them every day, or many times a day, and remind them how much money they COULD be making in sales if they offered decent...

I'm really sorry that I'm going to sound like a scratched record here, but you so need to get a copy of the NTPs for whatever software level you have! If you can, find out your local Nortel support folks and get a copy of the NTPs from them. It may or may not be possible to identify what trunks...

BGP itself won't necessarily add too much load on FP's/CPs that you run it on - it depends what else you are doing on the box. BGP will obviously need some of its own resources for routing, but if you only need a simple implementation, you should be okay. Are you able to get a copy of the NTPs...

BGP can certainly be implemented on 7400 series passports. I'm not really sure you need it though. It sounds, from what you've described, that two weighted static routes would do the trick - certainly easier to implement/fault-find and easier on the card resources. I might be misinterpreting...

Hi kashnortel. I'm not sure why, but I think I assumed above that you didn't have MDM. If you do, you should certainly use that, as Mankyway says - it's much easier than backing up manually and/or using scripts. If you don't have MDM, then it's still possible as described above. You can also use...

Yes, there's a lot of documentation available, and several different ways to achieve "traffic engineering". Can you specify what sort of traffic engineering you're trying to achieve? IP QoS, ATM/MPLS traffic engineering, PORS/DPRS engineering? There are documents available for each of these...

I would respectfully suggest your post might be better placed in the "Cisco: Routers" forum - this has nothing to do with ethernet, per se. Having said that, can you post your sample router configs (to the cisco forum) so we can get a better idea of what you're trying to do? You say you can...
