Unmanaging the Dial Ports

Do not poll the asynchronous and serial interfaces on Cisco access servers. The reasons for this recommendation include:

As remote users dial in to an access server, it is normal behavior for asynchronous and serial interfaces to regularly go up and down.

On an average 20-minute call, one modem normally produces three alerts. At approximately 6 alerts per hour, one modem can produce up 144 events each day. One Cisco AS5800 fitted with 1296 modems can produce up to 186,624 modem events per day.

To unmanage the asynchronous and serial interfaces for a Cisco access server, follow these steps:

Step 1 From the top-level map, double click on an access server icon. The available interfaces and ports appear.
