2 You can create SmartSwitch 9000
models in Location or Organization views
even though a Contains relation cannot
be established with the SmartSwitch
chassis model and the models do not
show up in the Device view of the
SmartSwitch.
Do not create SmartSwitch 9000 models
in the Location or Organization views.
Instead, create them in the Topology
view and then copy the Device icon from
the Universe Topology view into the
Location view. The SmartSwitch chassis
model has a Container view that contains
Location view icons for all modeled
SmartSwitch modules. This ensures that
the proper relationship exists between
the models.
3 When a 9A6x6 is modeled as a
standalone device, the Chassis Device
view incorrectly displays the backplane
interfaces.
This is a firmware issue. Upgrade to
firmware 3.00.04 or later.
4 For some SmartSwitch 9000 modules,
error messages can appear when you try
to save created entries within the Static
Bridging application’s Static Bridging
table. For example, the 9E133_36,
9E138_36, 9E423_24, and 9F310_02
models display the following:
Update failed for the following
attributes:
Attribute 0x1194c - Attribute
doesn’t exist on device,0x200000a
For the Static Bridging table to work, a
MacAddr.receiveport entry must be
provided as follows:
1. Click Create Static Database
Entry.
2. Confirm the MacAddr.receive
value’s existence
3. Click Close and then Save.
This saves the MAC address as a static
database entry, and the error message
does not appear.
5 You may have difficulty creating and
removing Permanent Virtual Circuits
(PVCs) and Permanent Virtual Paths
(PVPs) from SmartCell 9A656-04 and
9A686-04 devices.
Use the Virtual Channel views available
for your device to create PVCs, and the
Virtual Path views to create PVPs. The
creation procedures are the same.
Creating a PVC involves defining
individual links (VPI/VCI) on each of two
ports and then cross-connecting the
ports. Use a Virtual Channel Link view to
define the links on each port and then
use a Cross Connect view to cross
connect the ports. Before you begin,
ensure that you have write privileges for
the device, set the proper traffic
parameters for the ports, and set the
ILMI parameters using local
management.
