Re: (ASCEND) SNMP the hard way

If you Max is "locking up", what assurance do you have that
the Max will respond to SNMP commands when "locked"? In your
place, I would guess "none".

One could also plug an external modem into the "console"
port of the Max, and put in a single analog phone line
to support last-ditch administration of the Max via direct
dial-up connection. (The line can also be handy in cases where
a tech wants to call the NOC from the site.)
Thanks for the insights how to provide 100% uptime in a real hi-tech
environment :-)
But jokes aside: You made a very good point right at the start - how do
I know that the MAX would still respond to SNMP?
Hey, I don't know - I am not using SNMP....BUT the MAX still responds to
analog calls! Just found out. So I can reach it and press the button.
It's just that doing it interactively sometimes is just too much. I
tried scripting but that didn't succeed because there was no "default"
prompt. My term emu (Delrina Wincomm) is otherwise excellent but needs a
"default prompt" to find out when to end the script...too much hassle to
find this one out.
One nice guy from DownUnder (Dean Frye <dfrye@ascend.com.au>) sent me a
telnet script. Worked with UNIX (eh, IRIX) for about 8 years but would
have never guessed that telnet could be used that way:
(echo loginname; echo PWD;...)|telnet
I'll try it out today. Thanks for your ideas.
P.S. Wasn't there a _third_ guy in the world who would think "awk" in
the first place and not "perl" :->
Cheers,
