* Hello,
One of our TNT's is sending the following to the Radius Server ... in bursts of
like 10 per second ????

* This seems to be related to the following documentation of the TNT's:


Perm-Conn-Upd-Mode
Description: Specifies under what circumstances the MAX TNT performs nonintrusive
remote updates of the configurations of permanent connections.
Usage: Specify one of the following values:
° All (the default) specifies that, if they are fetched from the RADIUS server, all existing
permanent connections will be torn down and reestablished following the update. This
setting causes service interruption every time any nailed profile is updated or added.
° Changed specifies that only changed permanent connections will be torn down and
reestablished.
Example: set perm-conn-upd-mode=changed
Location: System
See Also: Analog-Encoding, Call-Routing-Sort-Method, Idle-Logout,
Master-Shelf-Controller, Name, New-NAS-Port-ID-Format, Parallel-Dialing, SessionID-Base,
Shelf-Controller-Type, Single-File-Incoming, System-Rmt-Mgmt, Use-Trunk-Groups


* But no matter how I set that ... it still keeps sending like that. Is there
another place that I need to disable that? We do not update any such thing
about permanent connections from the Radius Server, so this is wasted
processing and bandwidth (and log/disk space). Our other TNT's do not seem
to be doing this. (It says nonintrusive, but 10 times per second bursts - almost
constantly, is certainly INTRUSIVE, especially if it is basically a not needed.)

Thanks for any help or suggestions ...
