Known Anomalies: Network Configuration Utilities (NCU)
Item Description Solution
1 The Modify Community Strings tool does
not allow changes to community strings
on devices that have no contact with
SPECTRUM.
Be sure the community name on the
device model matches any one of the
valid community names on the device.
Telnet to the device and change the
community strings.
You can also change the SPECTRUM
community string in the information GIB
using the GIB Editor. See the GIB Editor
User’s Guide (0660) for more
information.
2 Offline downloads (*.hex files) are not
supported by Network Configuration
Utilities (NCU). However, some devices
and firmware revisions support only
offline downloads. If you attempt an
online download to a device that
supports only offline downloads, it
causes the device to go into BOOTP
mode.
Do not attempt an NCU firmware
download to devices that do not support
online downloads.
3 When you use the Modify Community
Strings tool to change the SPECTRUM
community string on certain
SmartSwitch 9000 blades (such as the
9E133-36 and 9E132-15), SUCCESS is
reported in both the Operation Status
tab panel and the device list’s Status
column. However, the change is not
actually made. To verify this:
1. Right-click the device model in
SpectroGRAPH.
2. Select Model Information.
Notice the Community String still has the
original value.
To change the SPECTRUM community
string for these devices:
1. Right-click the device model in
SpectroGRAPH.
2. Select Model Information.
3. Change the Community String to
the proper value.
This issue will be corrected in a future
release of SPECTRUM.
