• The “Bring to Front” and “Send to Back” changes made via the Edit
mode in the SpectroGRAPH are now saved to the GIB for the current
view so that a restart of the SpectroGRAPH displays the desired
change.
• Automatic map entry timeouts have been added to allow distributed
SPECTRUM component entries to age out. This benefits the
performance and usability of the server selection start-up dialog of the
Control Panel and other distributed applications. This also eliminates
manual map update steps that were previously required to eliminate
defunct map entries as customer’s distributed SPECTRUM deployments
changed over time.
• SPECTRUM Southbound Gateway EventAdmin models may now be
placed into Container models to alleviate clutter in the Universe view.
• Event Configuration Editor now supports configuring the clearing of
multiple alarms with a single event code.
• MIB2 Link UP/DOWN traps will now trigger an update to link status
associated with WA_Link models only so that the user doesn't have to
wait for an alarm to know that something has happened.
Miscellaneous Enhancements
• Multiple telnet sessions can now be run at any one time.
• Management Neighbors and live pipes is now documented in the How to
Manage Your Network with Spectrum Guide (1909) to better support
users ability to set this up correctly and get expected and useful
results.
• Modeling Gateway can now be used to destroy models that have been
completely removed from the network.
• The data type of the data_relay_port model type’s ifDescr attribute was
changed from Octet String to Text String to allow that attribute value to
be human readable when queried through CLI. Also, the MTE was
modified to allow for existing attributes to have their data type changed
from Octet String to Text String. A utility script was added to the
product distribution (in the vnmsh/sample_scripts directory) to allow
customers to convert Octet String attribute values returned by CLI to
readable text.
