we have been having some bizarre problems with our AGS+s lately and were wondering if there is anybody else out there that has had/having the same problem, so we can pool resources (and ciscos) to solve this problem. heres is the config AGS+ w/o ECO 4) MEC6s 1) 4S 20 active ethernets. Note: all appliciable static proceedures were followed. Two fridays ago as I was walking out the door the above mentioned router powered itself off. it powered on, ran for about 5 hours and shutdown again. It was powered back on monday morning and ran for about 10 hours until we shut it down and swapped it out. The unit has been returned to cisco for repair and they have labeled it "possessed". the excercism is friday. anybody want to come? (there still looking for the problem) Our replacement for this router was our own in-house spare with ECO. all of the cards were transferred from the "possessed" to the normal one. It ran fine until today (Tuesday 05/21/91). All of the cards and transceivers were down but the fan was still running. lights off but somebody home, and noisy at that. :-) I again called cisco and by pulling cards we were able to determine it appears to be a power supply loading problem. it behaves like a leaky capacitor, runs for a while and then discharges and dies. Maybe we should have excersized the cards before putting them in the new router? I swapped that one out with the replacement spare cisco sent me and we've been going great guns now for about 6 hours.. AC power problems have been ruled out. we are on UPS (filtered,isolated, the works) there are several other (weaker) routers on the same circuit and they are all fine. room temp is fine ( high 60s) Any thoughts???? I puzzled. I hope we are not suffering hardware Q/A problems. :-( Mike -- Mike Powell PPASEL "It's hard to find router bits for your cisco." MRP 03/29/91 Disclaimer: I speak for myself.
