an off-page reference icon of the router in the switch's devtop. Each

time the customer drew a pipe, he did a tcpdump between the VNM

and the switch to which he is drawing a pipe. Each of the tcpdumps

shows that the VNM only queries the dot1dTpFdbTable for MAC

address X, and ignores Y and Z.

The resolution was to change code so that now SPECTRUM will

search all interface MAC addresses if it cannot ﬁnd a match using the

value found in the router model's MAC_Address attribute. Device

Discovery is now able to discern on which port the router and switch

have a true connection.

The problem was that during AutoDiscovery of the AS5x00 model

Dialup_Link models were automatically created and placed on each of

the PPP ports. The Dialup_Link models are for managing dial-up

lines used to backup a primary interface and the Cisco Access Server

is a dial-in server. Although the ports can be conﬁgured to be backup,

their primary use is for users to remotely connect to the network.

Each time a dial-up user connected or disconnected from the modem a

brown alarm would get generated. In some cases, the amounts of this

type of alarm would cause the AlarmView to hang.

The resolution was to eliminate the automatic creation of Dialup

Links when an ASx500 is modeled by AutoDiscovery or by IP.

The problem was the Conﬁguration View and the IF Conﬁg Table of a

Rtr_Cisco 7000 did not properly display the column for Local

Description or any information pertaining to that attribute. The

header would come up brieﬂy but went away once the other table

information was loaded. This was due to the fact that the device was

not returning values for all instances for certain attributes.

The resolution was to remove the attributes from the Conﬁguration

View. The Local Description attribute, as well as: Change Reason,

Queue Length, and Packet Size, now all exist in the Interface

Conﬁguration Information Table. This table can be accessed by

double clicking a value in the Interface Conﬁguration Table which is

part of the Conﬁguration View.
