Known Anomalies: SynOptics 5000 Hubs
Item Description Solution
1 SynOptics only counts good frames when
monitoring Ethernet traffic. As the
number of frames with errors goes up,
the number of good frames goes down.
This directly affects the Load value in the
Port, Segment, Cluster, and Attachment
Performance views.
This is an agent issue. Users must
evaluate the %Errors in the Performance
views and know that when the %Errors
goes up, the load displayed does not
reflect the actual load on the Ethernet
segment.
2 Traps are only generated against the IP
address of the first Data Collection
Engine (DCE) on an Ethernet or Token
Ring Network Management Module
(NMM). If contact is lost with the first
DCE, you do not receive traps.
This is a firmware issue.
3 In the Device view, Token Ring DCE
icons can disappear and the NMM menu
options change to their defaults, Module
Notes and Module Configuration.
This is a firmware issue. When the Token
Ring NMM is rebooting, its entry can
disappear from the device’s module
table.
4 Information deleted from the Config File
Name and/or Image File Name fields in
the DCE Agent Configuration view
reappears in the view after the view’s
next poll cycle.
This is a firmware issue. Replace the
entries to be deleted with null characters
or blank spaces.
5 In the Ring In/Ring Out Extension
Information view, the Ring In UNA and
Ring Out UNA can be 0.0.0.0.0.0 or
both values can be the same.
This is a firmware issue.
