BRGMAP hangs and is using 95%+ cpu. For each port on each bridge
in the LAN, there is a method that determines potential connections to
other ports on other bridges in the LAN using two techniques. The
first technique creates a "potential" connection if both ports’ SAT
tables know about each other. The second technique creates a
"potential" connection if (although none of Bridge B's ports SAT tables
know about Bridge A) Bridge A's Port 1 SAT table knows about Bridge
B and at least one of Bridge B's Ports hears the same devices that
Bridge A's ports (other than Port 1) hear. Apparently, this second
technique was added when technique 1 did not work with a certain
Cisco device even though the Cisco device was connected. The
resolution to the current MR is to NOT run the second technique if the
bridge is in a SS6000 chassis.
The problem of not being able to create a LAN model off a SONET
interface (by manual configuration) has been corrected. The resolution
was to create an attribute off the VNM model called IfTypeList and to
allow un-numbered interfaces be processed normally once the new
model was configured.
In the CSIIfPort Model Information view, the Banner’s Interface Type
label shows ??? instead of the correct Enumeration. This has been
resolved by modifying the GIB file to display the entire Interface Type.
In SPECTRUM 5.0, we introduced a new service called "Automatic
Contact Lost Model Destruction" which will destroy any device model
which has been down (i.e. CONTACT_STATUS is LOST) for longer
than a specified amount of time. This time interval can be modified in
the Fault Isolation model's Model Information View accessed via the
VNM's Performance View. The problem is that the GIB field for the
time attribute is of an incorrect type. The GIB field is for an unsigned
integer, but the attribute is of type Time Ticks. This causes the
following error to be displayed when trying to modify the attribute' s
value in the GIB: "Update failed for the following attributes: Attribute
0x11fa9 - Attribute wrong type, 0x2000002". This has been resolved by
changing the type to Time Ticks.
In the Model Information View for Lost & Found, there is a button for
next model destruction time. The button lists the day, date, and time
of the next automatic model destruction. In 5.0rev1 with CS1 and
MMS1 installed, the date isn't displayed correctly. The day of the
month is missing. This has been resolved by adding the day of the
month.
