    Cannot change IP information via Console on Baystack 470

    Is your BayStack stacked with cascade cables to other units? Which is the master unit? There is a stack- and a switch IP. Which IP do you want to change? Have you tried a different terminal program/ different serial cable? I always use 9pol to RJ45-Adapters and a normal Patch cable. Common Null...

    IST/SMLT to a non-nortel device

    Generally STP-BPDU's will be dropped on IST- and SMLT-Links. Remember, the IST-Link has always to be in forwarding state, otherwise SMLT wouldn't work. There is one chance to forward STP BPDU's: Disable STP on both Passports for the whole STG-Group (not only per PORT). In Device Manager: VLAN...

    PP 8600 CPU utilization using MRTG

    Add this to your mrtg.cfg File: #-------------------------------------------------------- Target[HOSTNAME_PASSPORT.cpu]: 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.1.20.0&1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.1.20.0:SNMP_COMMUNITY@HOSTNAME_PASSPORT MaxBytes[HOSTNAME_PASSPORT.cpu]: 100 Unscaled[HOSTNAME_PASSPORT.cpu]: ymwd...

    8600 code 3.3.3

    One disadvantage of 3.5.x-Codes is, that you need 256MB RAM on a 8690SF and 128MB RAM on a 8691SF-Module (Required in Release Notes). If you use the 3.5.x-Code with only 64MB RAM it may work fine (it depends how many features do you use eg. Multicast-Routing), but you loose your Nortel-Support...

    Static route in PP 8600

    How should the traffic shift to another router, if there is a STATIC Route to a router that may be down? How are the static routes propagated to the second passport? Do you use a routing protocol? I recommend to use OSPF on all 4 routers instead of static routes.

    SMLT & SERVER

    Hi, it can't work because SMLT works in a different way. If your Server would be able to bridge between the NICs and would be able to channel both NIC to a MLT, you could work with SMLT, but this isn't the way Server NICs are working. Normally you install a virtual adapter over your physical...

    PP 8600: OID's for setting cp-limt

    It's although possible to write a telnet script. It's as secure as SNMPv1:-) I haven't any experiences with perl, but I've succesfully made a telnet connection with bash/netcat at port 23: nc -w 3 $DEVICE_TO_TELNET 23 .... or with php (taken from a CISCO router script): $fp = fsockopen...

    PP 8600: OID's for setting cp-limt

    Hi, I think there isn't a solution. The only option I know is configuring cp-limit with CLI/telnet "config ethernet [slot/port] cp-limit [enable/disable]". Device Manager 5.6.1 has no option for configuring cp-limit. If you want to know a MIB variable it is always a good chance to...
