We just got a bare Max 4002 to replace a box that went south. We put in 3 56k by 16 modem cards and loaded version 7.0.26 software in the box. We did a fclear and nvramclear and put in our same setup we use in the 4048's that we use. The only real difference I can tell on this box is it has the fire wall option and has no frame relay option. Anyway, we use channelized T1's and we set that up. We set up a default gateway to our Linux router under the default static route. We do not use any of the connection profiles but use the answer profile as our default. Under the mod config->ethernet we set up IP address, Rip send v1 (as we do on all our 4048's), Ignore def rt = yes, proxy mode = active, filter = 0. The 4002 will ping to the outside world (as well as our net) just fine. When a client calls into the modem, they can ping the box but the cannot get any further that the max 4002 box. I looked at out gated router and in the logs it looks like the router doesn't want any rip info from this machine. The message in the log looks like: "Aug 27 09:30:09 rip_recv: ignoring RIP Request packet from 209.102.125.10+520 - not supplying RIP" The 209.102.125.10 is the ethernet IP address for this MAX 4002. Is there some place where the RIP request have passwords added to them? I know RIP can have passwords but I have never seen this on my 4048's or 6096. Has anyone run into this problem before? Can anyone point me in the correct direction? Any help will be appreciated.
