Hi everyone. Apparently the latest release for the ERS2500 includes a DHCP server. There is already documentation on how to configure it etc. Here's the scenario. I have a branch office where we're going to deploy VoIP - new PBX (Avaya CS1000 of course ), cabling, network, the works. Part of...

Hi all. We have a problem with a couple of ES 470 -48 pwr switches. They sometimes display the following error on startup: Test 212 NSXs Internal Loopback - FAILED NSXs ILB NSX: 16. Rx Failed: Mode=5 Octets Wrong: Sb=1108. Is=0. When this happens the boot process stops and the...

Hi folks. I've just started using the Nortel BES50 for the first time. After several tries, I got the box configured how I want it - nothing fancy, just 1 VLAN. The problem is, the switch works fine until I power cycle it. After that the configuration disappears. Even the default IP no longer...

Hi all. How do I program the 8600 (Rel. 3.7.3) to block traffic to port 445? I know this port can be exploited by hackers. There seems to be a DoS type behaviour occuring on our network where many clients are sending traffic on this port. I'm new to ACL's and I know they can be tricky. Thanks.

Hi all. Does anyone have experience with Nortel's WLAN 2300 series? I just wanted to know the good/bad and how it compares (if that is possible) to Cisco. I'm thinking about deploying 2332's and the WSS 2361.

Hi. If I have 2 links between my sites, 1 Metro Ethernet and the other a broadband solution from my cable TV provider, how can I use the 8600 to load balance these 2 links. Both links terminate with an RJ45 connector. The links are not Internet links. For the Metro Ethernet connection, do I...

Hi. I have 2 BS460's that have frozen on bootup at the same point when the console reads "Completing Initialization". All lights in front remain lit and orange. Here's a print screen. 460-24T-PWR Diagnostics 3.6.0.1 Testing main memory - PASSED Resets: 30. Initializing Flash.. Reading MAC...

Hi all. I've seen this happen on 2 different stacks of BS460s. I have web/telnet passwords set on these stacks and changed them from the default "secure". However, on these 2 stacks I've seen the password get corrupted over time. When I connect using the console cable you actually see garbage...

Hi. Here is the problem. Our existing LAN is flat - one IP subnet, with over 1000 nodes. There are Accelars at the core but the PCs connect via 10BaseT hubs. We are in the process of upgrading to a segmented network using 8600's and switches (100Mbps) for clients. This new net is connected to...

Hi all. Does anyone have experience with Nortel's Enterprise Network Management software (ENMS)? I'm also looking for documentation. The docs on Nortel's site is restricted so I'm unable to find out more about the product. Any insights you may have would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi all. Here's an interesting one. I have 2 8600 (Rel. 4.1) connected through a Checkpoint VPN/Firewall (implemented on 2 PCs). The set up is like this..... LAN1 -> 8600 -> Checkpoint PC -----> Checkpoint PC -> 8600 -> LAN2. The link is a broadband connection provided by a service provider...

Hi. I'm running a Passport 8600 (sorry "Ethernet Routing Switch 8600") and was wondering, how do I change the SNMP v2 default community strings? When I chenged them in device manager, they didn't survive a reboot - I did "save config"! I'm not ready to use SNMP v3. Version 3.7 no longer has a...
