30CHAPTER 3: RELEASE ISSUES

Management

You may experience slow performance (response time) when you

 

perform a walk of the a3Com.29 MIB, particularly when you request

 

the following fields:

 

a3ComBridgePortAddressBridgeIndex

 

a3ComBridgePortAddressPortIndex

 

Performing a walk of this MIB may also affect the performance of the

 

Administration Console interface and other management functions.

 

The 36-port 10/100BASE-TX Desktop Switching Modules (Model

 

Numbers 3CB9LF36RL and 3CB9LF36TL) support RMON groups 1, 2,

 

3, and 9.

Web-based

If you use Netscape as your browser, you must install the Help files on

Management

an external server, not on a local PC. For instructions on how to install

 

and configure Help for the Netscape browser, see “Documentation

 

Changes” later in this chapter. (29490)

SNMP

The MIB object a3ComSysEthernetPortCount returns a value that is

 

one (1) greater than the combined number of front panel ports and

 

backplane ports.

 

Do not configure or enable SNMP trap destinations from the

 

Administration Console with the snmp trap addModify command

 

on switch fabric modules or interface modules. Only configure and

 

enable SNMP trap destinations on the EME with the

 

set trap_destination command. See “Documentation Changes” in

 

Chapter 3, “Release Issues” of the CoreBuilder 9000 Release Notes for

 

Management Modules for information about how to do this. (29770)

 

There is no SNMP support for creating or deleting trunks.

 

To prevent timeouts of SNMP requests, 3Com recommends that you

 

increase the default timeout for the network management station.

 

The value returned by ifType for backplane interfaces (117) are

 

specified as defined by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority

 

(IANA) and not as specified in RFC 1213 or RFC 1573.

Ethernet

The 36-port 10/100BASE-TX Desktop Switching Modules (Model

 

Numbers 3CB9LF36RL and 3CB9LF36TL) are the only modules that

 

currently support PACE®. Although you can change the PaceAccess

 

setting to enable on other modules, they do not currently support

 

PACE and the setting actually remains disabled.
