Author Re-enabled NIC on the Call Manager Has Prevented
Miller, Steve

2007-05-19, 1:11 pm

We have NICs in a Call Manager Subscriber in NY and one had been
disabled for a long time. I was told by an expert engineer (who
actually was the architect or our system) that all of the settings for
the cards were correct and that there was probably a cable unplugged.
When I got to the site, there was a cable unplugged so I replaced the
cable and then re-enabled the card that corresponded to that port. At
that point, we rec'd errors in the event log that the system could not
communicate with the NTP server and now we cannot connect to the Call
Manager via RDP or by web interface programming. All calls are being
processed and there seems to be no current user issue, but I need to
know if I should simply disable the connection again and troubleshoot or
if there is something in the teaming NIC card setup that needs to be
changed. I have never messed with this before and I want to fix it, but
I don't want to interfere with the phone service. I'm sure that this is
a simple issue, but I don't want a misstep. Please let me know if you
are familiar with this. Thank you!

When I look at the team properties, it says "Network Fault Tolerance
Only with Preference Order". What else do I need to check? Would
simply disabling the 2nd NIC again temporarily fix the problem? There
has been no adjustment of the cards (programming) at all at this point.

The NIC's should not be teamed. The only method that is supported is
Fault Tolerance Only. Enable this mode, connect both cables, and try
again.

Using the cisco Media Convergence Server Network Teaming Driver with
Operating System Versions 2000.4.3 and 2000.4.3a

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products...d_installation_
guide09186a00806a476f.html



The above document "strongly suggests NFT" in Step6, the default is
Auto.



I don't see anything that states Auto is unsupported by Cisco. I would
think being able to use two NICS @ 1000/Full would be better than one @
1000/Full -jason



In Auto mode connected to a Catalyst 3500/4500/6500 with default
settings Auto will select Transmit Load Balancing with Fault Tolerance
(TLB) based upon the HP Whitepaper below. If you go into Control Panel

> Networks > Teaming Interface > Properties> HP Network Configuration

Utility > Select HP Network Team > Properties > Information it will
shows the actual "Current Mode" that Auto selected. I went into a
OS2000-4-4a-SR6 and found they were Transmit Load Balancing with Fault
Tolerance (TLB) and have been in production for several years with no
issues relating to the NIC teaming. IPCC Express application isn't
supported with NIC teaming and does have problems.

My recommendation has always been to use NFT only, never load balancing.
