(ASCEND) Re: LAN security errors




We had the same problem after upgrading our 4048's.  We were seeing a LOT
of Lan security errors.  What was very strange is the Radius server was
saying OK.  We put the old configuration back into the Max's (the ones we
had fsaved before upgrading) and that solved the problem. Hope that might
help.
