ExtremeWare v6.2.1 Release Notes Page 35
Bridge MIB Attributes
Unsupported counters. The IEEE Bridge MIB dot1dTpPortEntry PortInDiscards and
dot1dBasePortEntry counters do not increment (4937).
dot1dBasePortTable Display. The dot1dBasePortTable only displays the first 4 slots in a
BlackDiamond switch (6918). The ifTable correctly displays all slots.
SNMP Time-out Setting
SNMP management stations may need to set the SNMP time-out value to 10 seconds as some large
configuration operations take longer to perform, especially on the BlackDiamond switch (7151).
In addition, when using SNMP tools that use the bulk get request function as opposed to generic get
next requests, the MIB walk can time out and subsequently fail with the default time-out setting. It is
suggested that the default time-out value be increased from 5 seconds to 60 seconds to decrease the
frequency of such time-outs when the get bulk request contains a large number of entries (9592).
SNMP Access Profile
The access profile for SNMP read-only or SNMP read-write can be used for permit-mode only,
deny-mode is not operational (7153).
SNMP and Auto-negotiation Settings
For 100/1000BaseTX ports, the ifMauAutoNegAdminStatus can only be disabled if the
ifMauDefaultType is set to a speed of 100Mbps. For 10/100BaseTX ports, the user must first set the
value of ifMauDefaultType to the correct setting before disabling the ifMauAutoNegAdminStatus (9416).
SNMP and the BGP MIB
When exercising the route table in the BGP MIB, high SNMP utilization messages will be printed to the
system log (11718). This access to the MIB has no adverse effects to any protocol stability (i.e., ESRP,
OSPF, BGP).
SNMP and Load Sharing
Creating an entry in the extremePortLoadShare2 table with an active port and subsequently destroying
the row for the entry will result in a software exception (1-57P9C).
Extreme Fan Traps
The extremeFanOK and extremeFanFailed traps will contain the extremeFanNumber indicating which
fan has failed. (1-7J571)
Extreme Power Supply Traps
A new object was added “extremePowerSupplyNumber” to the power supply traps. The two RPS traps
will no longer be sent out. Instead the extremePowerSupplyGood and extremePowerSupplyFail traps
will contain the power supply number indicating which power supply has failed. (1-7J56T)
