4 When performing a router discovery,
switches connected to Cisco routers are
discovered in addition to the Cisco
routers. This occurs because the Cisco
Discovery Protocol includes switches
(such as the Catalyst 5000 and 5005) in
its tables and because the Use CDP Table
checkbox setting cannot be deselected.
To exclude these devices for exporting or
modeling purposes, remove them from
the result set through the Filter button.
The Use CDP Table checkbox setting will
be made user-selectable in a future
release of SPECTRUM.
5 On a shared Solaris workstation, if you
inadvertently run more than one
AutoDiscovery, you receive the following
warning message:
Running multiple copies of
Autodiscover, can corrupt the
database. If there are no other
autodiscoveries running, select
Continue, otherwise select Exit.
If you select Continue, you damage the
database because it is difficult to
determine if another AutoDiscovery is
running. When checking to see which
processes are running, the
AutoDiscovery processes are labeled
similar to:
Java/1.3/bin../bin/sparc/
native_threads/j
Select Exit and check to see if there are
processes running that are labeled:
Java/1.3/bin../bin/sparc/
native_threads/j
If there is at least one process running,
AutoDiscovery is running; do not run a
second AutoDiscovery.
Aprisma is rewriting the warning
message and process name for a future
release of SPECTRUM.
