58 ExtremeWare 7.0 Release Notes
Clarifications, Known Behaviors, and Resolved Issues
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 (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 100/1000Base-TX ports, the ifMauAutoNegAdminStatus can only be disabled if the
ifMauDefaultType is set to a speed of 100Mbps. For 10/100Base-TX 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 might be sent to the
syslog (11718). This access to the MIB has no adverse effects to any protocol stability (i.e., ESRP, OSPF,
BGP).
SNMP and the FDB MIB
When exercising the route table in the FDB MIB with dot1dTpFdbTable enabled, high CPU utilization
messages might be displayed in the syslog (PD2-102926801). This occurs when there is a large number
of FDB entries and has no adverse affects on protocol stability.
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).
DHCP
The DHCP server is not supported as a standalone feature. It is used as part of the Network Login
feature only (1-8SAI6).
Some of the counters for DHCP/BOOTP statistics do not display the correct value. As a result,
DHCPRelay statistics are not correctly reported in the IPStats (PD2-73587422).
