Known limitations and considerations in this release 43
Release Notes for the Passport 8600 Release 3.7.6
• The usmUserStorageType object is not supported in Release 3.7.6.
(Q00799662)
• The MIB mib-2.80.1.1.0 is not supported in Release 3.7.6; consequently, the
snmp walk reply shows “noSuchInstance” for this MIB. (Q00849687,
Q00849691)
• Because of security concerns, community strings in the community table are
now shown as ********* strings. Community strings are translated into the
community table, using the new format, during the upgrade from Release 3.5
to 3.7.6. Because community strings are no longer displayed, you must
remember their community strings. (Q00883778)
• The trap notify table is based on the IP address of the target station and not the
type of user. All users, whether they have trap tags defined or not, will receive
traps as long as they are on the same workstation as a user that is configured
to receive traps. (Q00905161)
• SNMP default strings displace non-default strings in the original indices.
(Q00889713)
Device Manager
• SNMP inform messages cannot be sent to a Device Manager session because
Device Manager does not have an SNMP engine ID assigned to it.
(Q00851264)
• When using Device Manager, you cannot graph a port that is a member of
VLAN running OSPF. (Q00897049)
• When the trap option in RMON is set to toOwner (RMON > Options), no
traps are received at the Owner. The workaround for this is to set the option to
toAll. (Q00908256)
• Device Manager and the CLI incorrectly allow you to configure a large IPX
tick value (up to 2147483647). The actual maximum tick value that can be
used is 65535. Do not enter a value higher than this. (Q00538439)
• You cannot modify the following values on the Insert Target Table dialog
box: TAddress, TagList, TMask, and MMS. If you must change these
parameters, use the CLI. Or, using JDM, you can remove the Target Table
entry and recreate it with the new values. (Q00914179)
• Nortel Networks recommends against using VLAN IDs from 4000 to 4095.
These values should be reserved for spanning tree group (STG) IDs (Nortel
multiple STGs implementation). The CLI allows you to create a VLAN ID of
4094, although the Device Manager prevents this. (Q00912868)
