(ASCEND) Random momentary routing failures
I'm having odd occurences with my Max 4000. It's occurred under 5.0Ap33,
and now Ap36.
The Max has a PRI and a Frame line with two DLCIs. On the local Ethernet is
a machine that queries it via SNMP every minute for traffic graphing and to
make sure it's responding. If it doesn't respond, I get paged.
Occasionally, I get paged that it's down, along with everything beyond it
and some devices on the local Ethernet (presumably those that happen to get
queried while the Max is acting up). A minute later, on the monitoring
device's next query, everything comes back up.
The Max always says it's been up for a while, so it didn't reset. There's
nothing in the Fatal Error log and Syslog shows nothing out of the ordinary.
So it looks like the monitoring system lost it's mind, right?
Right, except that usually one or both of the two Frame profiles
simultaneously move to different interfaces.
So it looks like the Frame line went down, twice, right? Right, except why
did the Max stop responding to SNMP queries both times?
Also, even local devices on the Ethernet are reported as down at the time,
which looks like the Ethernet is flaky. Except the Frame profiles move
around! Other profiles mey too, but I haven't tracked them so far.
I've been back and forth with Support on this, but so far I don't think
anyone is getting the picture.
Is anyone else seeing anything like this?
