ExtremeWare 7.1.1 Release Notes 55
Configuration Options with Large Number of Interfaces
When selecting a configuration applet with a large number of configured interfaces, the traversal of the
VLAN interfaces by Vista can cause a Watchdog reset due to the task utilization of Vista during the
interface data collection. It is recommended that Vista not be used for configurations with Watchdog
enabled where the Vista Configuration applet is used with a large number of VLAN interfaces.
SNMP
The trapDestOwner is Required in the trapDestTable
ExtremeWare 7.1 (and later) requires the trapDestOwner in the trapDestTable to send the community,
address, owner, and status in the create request for the trapreceiver entry through SNMP
(PD2-126200001).
Cannot Delete Default Community Strings
You cannot delete the default community strings (public and private) using the configure snmpv3
delete community
command. To delete these strings, use the configure snmp delete community
command (PD2-153687501).
Do Not Configure an SNMPv3 Community String with more than 32 Characters
You cannot configure an SNMPv3 community string with more than 32 characters. If you download a
configuration containing such a string, that line in the configuration fails, returning the following error
message to the console (PD2-150132207):
ERROR : SNMPV3 Community Creation Failed
The rest of the configuration loads correctly.
Modular Switch get Error
A get request from an NMS to a modular switch for the ifMau<object> on the management port returns
a “no such instance” error (PD2-124250702).
SNMP v1 Traps
SNMP v1 traps for link up and link down are not supported. ExtremeWare uses SNMP v2 traps
(PD2-110113025).
SNMP and ACLs
Polling the ACL table with a network manager can cause high CPU utilization. For example, with 1,000
ACLs, CPU utilization could be as high as 95%, which could make the console unresponsive
(PD2-57475201).
Incrementing the Interface Value
With a getnext or bulkget on a non-existent ifIndex of an object ID, the agent returns next OID value
instead of incrementing the ifIndex (2-H1OOF, 2-GZ52P).
