56 ExtremeWare 7.1.1 Release Notes
Clarifications, Known Behaviors, and Resolved Issues
SNMP ifAdminStatus MIB Value
The SNMP ifAdminStatus MIB value is not saved after a reboot. Ports set to down in the SNMP
ifAdminStatus MIB come back up after rebooting. However, if you save the configuration using the CLI
or SNMP after changing the port status to down in the ifAdminStatus MIB, the change is saved after a
reboot (2-GOQMD).
Trap Receivers as Broadcast Entry
Although it is possible to enter a broadcast or IP multicast address as an SNMP trap receiver, it will not
function (2545).
Bridge MIB Attributes
The IEEE Bridge MIB dot1dTpPortEntry PortInDiscards and dot1dBasePortEntry counters do not
increment (4937).
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 100 Mbps. For 10/100Base-TX ports, you must first set the value
of ifMauDefaultType to the correct setting before disabling the ifMauAutoNegAdminStatus (9416).
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).
