Spent the last few days scouring documentation and doing web searches to
find if someone else has had this same problem, but come up blank.
I've got an Ascend MAX 6000 (one of 6), running software version 8.0.2. It
previously had finger turned on (so our support department could get
connection info for troubleshooting) and working fine. Last Wednesday,
however, we used it to replace a very aging old MAX 6000 which used to be
the head of our dial-up pool. The only configuration info that was changed
was the Ascend's name, ethernet IP/subnetmask, default route, and dial-up
pool assignment. Since the cutover, finger has stopped working and the
port registers as closed.
I've tried disabling/re-enabling finger to no avail. There were no active
IP filters blocking TCP/UDP 53, but just in case I put in a couple of
filters to explicitly allow the traffic to the MAX, and that didn't work.
All the documentation I've read and the mailing list traffic I've found
suggests that finger should really just work once you turn it on.
Does anyone have any advice? The only thing I haven't tried is rebooting
the MAX after making sure that Finger->Yes is saved in the active config.
I'm loathe to do that as this is the first MAX in our dial-up pool and to
do so would disconnect 47 customers pretty much any time of day.
