Known NCU Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.0.2
SPECTRUM Software Release Notes Page 78
Solution: Make certain that the SPECTRUM model community name
matches any one of the valid community names on the device. Telnet to the
device and change the community strings via local management. You can
also change the SPECTRUM community string in the information GIB
using the GIB Editor. See the GIB Editor User’s Guide for more
information. This will be corrected in a future release of SPECTRUM.
Problem 2: Offline downloads (*.hex files) are not supported by the
Network Configuration Utility (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 may cause
the device to go into BOOTP mode.
Solution: Do not attempt a NCU firmware download to devices which do
not support online downloads.
Problem 3: When changing the SPECTRUM community string on certain
Cabletron SmartSwitch 9000 blades (such as the 9E133-36 and 9E132-
15) with the Modify Community Strings tool, success is reported in both
the Operation Status tab panel and the device list’s Status column.
However, the change is not made, which can be verified as follows:
1 Right-click the device model in SpectroGRAPH.
2 Select Model Information.
Notice that the Security String still has the original value.
Solution: To change the SPECTRUM community string for these devices:
1 Right-click the device model in SpectroGRAPH
2 Select Model Information.
3 Change the Security String to the proper value.
This will be corrected in a future release of SPECTRUM.
