Corrected & Current Anomalies

SPECTRUM Software Release Notes Page 187

SynOptics 5000 Hubs

Corrected Anomalies:

1 In the Conﬁguration view for the HubSyn5xxx model, Chassis Contact

and Chassis Location MIB objects are read-write on the device and

the device can now be set with SNMP.The SM-SYN1003 management

module now supports the 5005 chassis.

Known Anomalies:

Problem 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, and this directly affects the Load value in the

Port, Segment, Cluster, and Attachment Performance views.

Solution: This is an agent problem. 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.
