Router Configuration Problem

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 11 Apr 2001

Q:
Mark O. wrote: I have experienced what appears to be a continuous attempt by BorderManager to cache a web page locally even when the ISP is not accepting calls due to the ISDN routers login name and password being rejected, and therefore dropping the ISDN line shortly after creating the PPP link. The problem being this is invisible to Bordermanager, which appears to still keep trying to access the web based URL, so the router calls the ISP again, and again. Is this normal, or should BorderManager give up after a few minutes?

A:
Mark solved his own problem, and sent this update: The router is not configured to forward multicast packets. Since the ISP connection was fixed the problem has not, as of yet, reocurred.
