Hi George<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2006/1/4, George Pontis <<a href="mailto:gpontis@spamcop.net">gpontis@spamcop.net</a>>:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<p><font face="Courier New" size="2">Hello list members,</font>
</p>
<p><font face="Courier New" size="2">I am running NUT 2.0.1 on an
OpenBSD 3.8 system, using the OpenBSD port for net-snmp-5.1.2p2. The
UPS is connected via an AP9606 Web/SNMP card with current firmware, and
the LAN. All goes well for a long time, usually more than one month.
Then the system starts spitting messages about losing communications
with the UPS. A second message about reconnecting follows immediately.
The messages are sometimes coming at a fast rate, faster than the 300
seconds specified for NOCOMMWARNTIME in upsmon.conf. A reboot of the
computer running NUT (the only computer running NUT) does not fix it,
so I assume that there is something going on with the UPS or the UPS
network card.</font></p>
<p><font face="Courier New" size="2">If this is not a known problem, I
would be happy to do some guided sleuthing to track it down. However, I
have no clue where to look.</font></p>
<p><font face="Courier New" size="2">Any pointers would be much appreciated.</font>

does resetting the card itself (there should be something on the web
admin interface, if there is one) resolve this issue. If so, then
you've validated that the problem is from the comm card itself.
Otherwise, it should be a problem in the ups core...<br><br>
Another test, on the nut side, would be to stop snmp-ups, then restart
it in debug mode (using -DDDDD) when the comm is staling, and look at
what happen. A simpler one would be, in the same context, to try a ping
and an snmp-walk to see if the comm card is denying answer.<br>
