1.1.3. System Management 
Symptom Solution 
Upgrading from V1.10 will result in denied 
access to the router via telnet if local users or 
RADIUS was not configured and saved 
beforehand 
Configure a local user with administrative rights 
and save the configuration before upgrading to 
V1.20 remotely 
System file cannot be accessed for upgrade if 
remote upgrade process was not completed 
(answer to query about writing to flash was not 
received) before the telnet session is 
terminated 
A reboot of the router is necessary if a second 
attempt at upgrading is to be successful 
Do not power cycle the router until after the 
upgrade is complete. 
The basic version of this release does not 
support SSH 
Use the extended version of this release for 
SSH support. 
If you add or remove a module, the 
configuration may be altered. 
Save the configuration file and edit it with the 
new interface numbers so that the file 
corresponds with the new physical 
configuration. 
The router reboots if an invalid agent software 
file is used to upgrade the device. 
Insure that the correct agent file has been used 
before writing to flash memory.   
When a router reboots, the system clock is 
reset to GMT. 
Set the time zone if using NTP. If the Master 
Clock router is rebooted, reset the time on the 
Master Clock router. All other routers will 
synchronize with the Master Clock if they are 
defined as peers. 
On the Router 5680, the T3/E3 MIMs may 
sometimes not be recognized by the system 
upon DISPLAY VERSION.  
Do not place the T3 or E3 card in slot 2. Use 
another available slot 
X.21 does not work on the 4-Port Synchronous/
Asynchronous MIM (3C13763) or 1-Port 
Synchronous/Asynchronous SIC (3C13714). 
To support X.21 on 3Com routers, you must 
use the embedded serial interface or the 4-Port 
Synchronous/Asynchronous MIM with X.21 
support (3C13764) 
The E1 controller does not inter-operate with 
the Adtran Atlas 830 in PRI or CE1 using AMI 
line code. 
Use HDB3 line code to operate correctly with 
the Adtran switch. 
TACACS+ appears in the CLI as HWTACACS  Use the HWTACACS commands for TACACS+ 
configuration. 
1.1.4. Interface Management 
Symptom Solution 
Interface changes may require a reset of the 
interface for changes to take effect. 
If you make a configuration change to an 
interface, use the shutdown and undo 
shutdown commands on the interface.. 
The error message for deleting a PRI is 
incorrect. 
Use the undo pri-set command instead. 
Dialer interfaces do not support IP 
Unnumbered.  
Assign an IP address to dialer interfaces. 
When initially configuring a virtual template, a 
reset of all physical interfaces may be 
necessary. 
To correct any abnormalities in operations, all 
physical interfaces related to the virtual 
template must be shut down together before 
being brought back up.
