Have a few Juniper boxes of various flavours under my purview and have never had this issue. Have had a couple of lock-outs but a reboot fixed it.

Is it a common console router/connector/laptop/usb serial thing?

We've seen this happen on two different boxes - completely unresponsive after running for a few weeks, reboot doesn't fix it, and no output at all on it, even during the freebsd boot sequence. So before I start second and third-guessing what I've been doing to it, is this a known issue that people have seen elsewhere ? _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz<mailto:NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz> http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog -- Callum Barr me(a)callumb.com<mailto:me(a)callumb.com> _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz<mailto:NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz> http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog
