OmniSwitch 6600/7000/8800—Release 5.1.5.R04 page 75
PR 68826
When using the Ixia ScriptMate on the OmniSwitch 8800, Ixia tries to reacquire the link. It detects a time-
out and is unable to pass traffic.
Workaround: Configure Ixia side as non-auto, then there will be no more link changes.

The MAC-IP binding rule will allow IPX traffic to flow along with the classified IP traffic in the VLAN
classified to. Other products will filter IPX traffic in a disabled default VLAN instead of moving the traf-
fic in the IP VLAN.
Workaround: If a lower precedence rule is available, the IPX traffic will be classified and flow in the
VLAN covered by the rule.

The ipxServName in the ipxServTable MIB is a 48 octet identifier of the server. The IPX specification
says that it contains up to 48 octets and is NULL terminated. The Object is used (all 48 bytes) as part of an
index into the ipxServTable.
Normally these octets are printable characters. However, with the introduction of NDS by Novell, there
can be non-printable octets in ipxSerName. These characters are Netware identifiers in the NDS tree.
These octets are an integral part of the name, and index, and are used for the SNMP OID. Since the octets
are non-printable characters, they can cause confusion to the user and result in their interpretation as
invalid octets.
Workaround: Verification of the name can be done on the Netware server
