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.
The Interface Description Map on the HubCat models cannot be resized. This
has been resolved by increasing the size of the GIB when it is displayed.
The values in SW_Link performance view all say "failed." The performance
view for the monitor point, which is an ATMIfPort, has values of "failed" as
well. The attributes being used for those fields -- InLoad, OutLoad,
InCellRate, OutCellRate, and ErrorCellRate, are all red-boxed in the attribute
browser. Since the SW_Link can use different types of models as its monitor
point, an additional string field was added to the inference handler to send
along with the action. The port that picks up the action will compare with the
string to find what attribute it needs to read, and then will supply the
attribute ID for the correct corresponding attributes (i.e. if it is an ATMIfPort,
and it receives the string "In_Load" it will read its appropriate In_Load
statistic, whose ID will be supplied by its own IH). This is necessary because
the SW_Link code has SwitchApp statistics hard-coded, and obviously you
can't read the SwitchApp model’s statistics on an ATMIfPort.
