[Mispa-management-l] Akamai switch boot problems at the MIX - delays

[Dr P Nyirenda]

Limbika,
Skyband,

I would like to advise that we have faced problems booting the Akamai switch ever since we 
collected the Akamai machines from Skyband and this has partly delayed activating the 
Akamai services at the MIX, please allow me to explain.

Once we mounted the Akamai equipment on the MIX rack we noted that when we reboot the 
switch, it goes to alarm state while console cable is connected to the first Akamai machine. 

In order to monitor the switch boot process we then decided to connect the switch console 
terminal to our own LINUX server that we use for monitoring switches and routers on the 
MIX. This cleared the alarm on the Akamai switch and we could monitor the Akamai switch 
boot process.

When we returned the console cable to the Akamai servers Akamai was able to access the 
machines, however, the switch still returned to alarm state after every reboot.

We have found that the problem is with the console cable that we collected from Skyband 
with the Akamai equipment   

I would, therefore, like to find out if you faced this issue or any others while the Akamai 
equipment was at Skyband.  Such details probably would help us avoid more delays on 
activating the Akamai service at the MIX.

Regards,

Paulos
