Looking for a new router - Page 3

CliffyG · 08-11-2006, 23:03

Something odd just happened. I'd turned off the power by the switch on the router as i thought i was going to leave it for the evening and when i turned it back on it's gone back to the default setup and lost everything i'd done

You have to commit any changes you make to the startup config, everything you do gets altered in running. There's a save option in SDM somewhere, or from the IOS by running either 'write config' or 'copy run star' ('copy running-config startup-config' being it's long version).

Oops lol. I best do some reading up

OK i'm finally getting somewhere now. Had a play this afternoon and got it synced and routing. Can browse fine etc. There is a bit of a problem though, every 2 or 3 minutes i get a "Interface ATM0, changed state to down". It brings itself back up again and works fine but i cant get it to stay up.

Just thinking, could it be the fact that im on adslmax and it's trying to find the best sync rate again as i have a new router? Sounds unlikely i know

Shouldn't drop the whole interface. At least, you'd certainly think/hope not, I cant say for sure. Dont think I've got any on Max.

It can drop the sync to re-negotiate the sync rate, but every 2-3 minutes isn't right.

What line stats are you getting? If you do 'show dsl interface atm0' you'll find out. Compare the stats before and after a drop and see how they vary. You'll notice that it says training data isn't available for the atm interface - don't make the mistake I did and enable it as you'll get nothing but pages and pages and pages of useless stuff back.

If you want to see the uptime of the interface, rather than looking at 'show interface blah' have a look at 'show caller' and you'll see how long the pppoa session has been established for.

I'll give it a go tomorrow and see what state my line is in.

I think the new ISO sorted the problem out re the syncing. Have a nice stable connection with decent throughput now. I am having major problems with the wireless though. Managing it through the SDM is impossible because i keep getting the following error on every page:

Error 'document.forms.0.CLOCK.value' is null or not an object

It basically stops every confirm / ok / enter button from working so i can't save anything.

EDIT

I think it must be the new IOS. I've tried different browsers and java versions. It definately worked before as i had added an SSID so the ISO is the only thing i can think of that has changed. Is there a new one out?

I think it is more likely to be an SDM bug rather than IOS since all SDM does is pass the commands to the IOS. Is there an option in the IOS for it to show you the commands it'll send to the router before it does? At least that way you could shove the commands into the console.
