On all my livingston routers, both irx's and pm2e's I have had the
occasional static route simply vanish, this would happen say once
every 2-3 months, not always the same route, not always the same
router, but rather consistant.
Now, I have pm2e's with 5bri mod cards, and for these routers and
the isdn users the problem is very bad.
For any isdn user who has a static route, his route will be deleted
2 to 3 times a week. I have noticed that this is more common with
my isdn users who are using pipeline50's to dial in. Other isdn
customers with static routes have not had has bad a problem.
For the dialup isdn people, they will be online and simply notice
there session hanges (this is an active session). And then we
have to reprogram the router.
A work around I have put into place is to manage them in radius,
including there routes, the problem goes away then.
But this won't do any good for static routes on routers that are
not linked to radius users.
Anyone else have this problem?
Any suggestions from livingston on this one? Having a routers that
simply choose to remove routes that have been inplace for months is
getting very old.
