Re: frame relay question [7:20609]

2001-09-21 Thread Dennis R
In the frame relay cloud, under certain unusual circumstances (including a trunk line that goes unidirectional), the one or both edge frame relay switches may not see the outage. LMI will therefore not report the failure from the edge switch to the router, the PVC status is not changed on the

Re: T1 Question: What happens after the SmartJack? [7:18215]

2001-09-02 Thread Dennis R
If I have a CSU/DSU which connects to the demarc (smartjack), then it is the smartjack's job to regenerate that signal and send it to the CO, correct? A smartjack isn't a repeater. It's just an RJ48 jack with enough circuitry (smart) to answer a remote loopback command. The CSU is responsible

Re: MRTG Horizontal shape? [7:18091]

When MRTG gets nothing back from its SNMP poll, it assumes the last reported value; if it gets nothing back for several hours you see a horizontal line on the graph. This tells you that for several hours, MRTG was not getting SNMP data back from the router. One possible cause is congestion on

I've seen it done with 2 frame relay T1's at the hub of a hub-and-spoke topology. (There were actually 3 hub routers and 6 T1's, 1 pair IMUXed into each hub router). The router interface was a HSSI port. The bandwidth was what you'd expect (3 megabits). However, the Orion IMUXes the carrier
