The issue of dialed interface handling is not done well by any vendor. Every implementation has shortcomings. If I am wrong about this please correct me. All input on this issue is desired. The IETF certainly does not have a reasonable implementation either. They are forging ahead with the notion that every VC should have and an ifIndex. What do you do with a box like the TNT that can handle a T3? Traverse 672 interfaces? That will take 3 or 4 minutes. ken -----Original Message----- From: Adam Neat [SMTP:adamneat@ipax.com.au] Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 1997 4:49 PM To: Marc Slemko Cc: ascend-users@bungi.com Subject: Re: (ASCEND) BGP 4 ? > No CPU use that I am aware of, because that would probably reveal just > how horrid some things are.

Ive been wanting the ability to have fixed if numbers for snmp management for ages too! Other than that, the interface kicks on anything else we've used eg: ACC/Newbridge! adam +-------------------------------------------------+ | Adam Neat |NOC Tel: 03-9887-1984 | | National Systems Manager |NOC Fax: 03-9801-8533 | | IPAX Systems - Australia |<A HREF="http://www.ipax.com.au">http://www.ipax.com.au</A>| | Mobile: 0414-348-187 |adamneat@ipax.com.au | +-------------------------------------------------+ ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <STRONG>Follow-Ups</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg11058.html">Re: (ASCEND) BGP 4 ?</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Phillip Vandry <vandry@Mlink.NET></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11060.html">Re: (ASCEND) K56..</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11041.html">RE: (ASCEND) FAT Codes Through SNMP?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg07697.html">(ASCEND) What the big ones do</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="maillist.html#11042"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="threads.html#11042"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
