TNTs Rebooting, was RE: Weird network problems
In a word, Yes. We've got two TNT's that have been rock-solid for over a year that have rebooted 6 times in two days. Any help at all would be most appreciated. Thanks in Advance, Ejay Hire -----Original Message----- From: Geo. [mailto:georger@getinfo.net] Sent: Wed 8/20/2003 3:45 PM To: nanog@merit.edu Cc: Subject: Weird network problems Is anyone out there tracking down some weird network behavior yesterday and today? I'm not talking about ping traffic from the worm or anything like that, I'm seeing TNT MAX boxes go unpingable, arp broadcast storms, one way traffic blocks on T1's between cisco routers, stuff that I have not been able to explain yet. Just wondering if it's only me seeing this or if others are working on the same sorts of issues. I heard a rumor that ICG was also experiencing some strange network problems so I figured it was time to post. Geo.

Has anyone opened a ticket with Lucent about this? My initial feeling is some traffic pattern, possibly a side affect of the recent instability, could be causing it. Thanks. andy -- PGP Key Available at http://www.tigerteam.net/andy/pgp

Lucent is aware of the problem and is working on a fix. One of our networks is O1 and they use massive amounts of TNTs. Excerpt from their announcement yesterday: "...an intermittent problem that has been discovered to be affecting a specific type of network card used by some of the NAS devices that populate our network. The problem is exacerbated by the blaster worm and has been replicated by Lucent, our vendor and others. In order to resolve the issue, we are working with Lucent to test and deploy an emergency updated version of software to the affected NAS devices."
