Known Anomalies: SmartSwitch 9000/9500
Item Description Solution
1 9E42x-x and 9H42x-xx Transparent
Bridging Port tables show no MIB-II
interface statistics for INB interfaces for
Port In Frames, Port Out Frames, and
Port In Discards.
There are no plans to correct this issue.
2 You can create SmartSwitch 9000
models in Location or Organization views
even though a Contains relation cannot
be established with the SmartSwitch
chassis model and the models do not
show up in the Device view of the
SmartSwitch.
Do not create SmartSwitch 9000 models
in the Location or Organization views.
Instead, create them in the Topology
view and then copy the Device icon from
the Universe Topology view into the
Location view. The SmartSwitch chassis
model has a Container view that contains
Location view icons for all modeled
SmartSwitch modules. This ensures that
the proper relationship exists between
the models.
3 When a 9A6x6 is modeled as a
standalone device, the Chassis Device
view incorrectly displays the backplane
interfaces.
This is a firmware issue. Upgrade to
firmware 3.00.04 or later.
4 For some SmartSwitch 9000 modules,
error messages can appear when you try
to save created entries within the Static
Bridging application’s Static Bridging
table. For example, the 9E133_36,
9E138_36, 9E423_24, and 9F310_02
models display the following:
Update failed for the following
attributes:
Attribute 0x1194c - Attribute
doesn’t exist on device,0x200000a
For the Static Bridging table to work, a
MacAddr.receiveport entry must be
provided as follows:
1. Click Create Static Database Entry.
2. Confirm the MacAddr.receive value’s
existence
3. Click Close and then Save.
This saves the MAC address as a static
database entry, and the error message
does not appear.
5 For the 9T125_08 and 9T122_24
models, the CsTRing1App’s Cabletron
Token Ring Configuration view shows ??
in the Beacon State field.
This is a firmware issue.
6 When the Community Name is changed
in the Model Information view of a
SmartSwitch 9000 model, the interfaces
in the Chassis Device view do not display
a status change but remain in whatever
state they were in when contact with the
device was lost.
The interface number field turns gray to
alert you that contact was lost. However,
knowing the previous state of the
interface may be useful.
