Site Manager Revision 5.00 revision 2
Site Manager Revision 5.00 revision 2 is a post 5.00 revision. This revision
is backwards compatible and supports the following router versions:
11.0
10.0
9.00
8.10
8.01
7.80
7.71
NOTE: When running revisions of router software in conjunction with
a fix version of Site Manager, be aware that there may be new MIB
attributes that were added in a router revision that are not supported
in a Site Manager revision. Refer to the revision notes for both Site
Manager and router software.
=============================================================================
5.00 Revision 2 corrects the following problem:
=============================================================================
CR 26245: Configuration.
Reordering large IP Traffic Filters causes the router to delete
fragment instances, which in turn deactivates the filter.
CR 26678: BOT.
Added three new BOT MIB attributes: BotKeepaliveInterval,
BotKeepaliveRto, BotKeepaliveMaxRetry.
BotKeepaliveInterval
Specifies how often the router sends a signal to the peer router
to check that the peer router is working correctly and can receive
messages. When a keepalive packet goes unacknowledged by the
remote peer, retransmission begins at the local peer router. You
should tune the keepalive interval based on the total time it
takes to send and receive acknowledgment from the remote peer.
Since keepalive packets are only sent on idle lines, increasing
the keepalive interval may decrease the cost of an idle network.
In busy networks, the keepalive interval is not necessary. Frequent
traffic for TCP transmission performs the same function as a
keepalive setting.
Enter a value appropriate for the network. We recommend that you
set this parameter to the same value on the peer router to
maintain synchronization.
BotKeepaliveRto
Specifies the maximum time between successive retransmissions of
keepalive packets. If an acknowledgment is not received by the
local peer router within the TCP keepalive retry timeout, the
local peer router retransmits the keepalive packet. The router
continues to retransmit keepalive packets at every TCP keepalive
retry timeout until it receives an acknowledgment from the remote
peer, or until TCP reaches the keepalive retry count setting.
Enter a value in the range 0 to 600.
BotKeepaliveMaxRetry
Specifies the number of TCP attempts at establishing or
maintaining a connection. If TCP does not receive an
acknowledgment after a series of retries, it declares the
connection inoperable and informs BOT.
Enter a value in the range 0 to 99 seconds.
CR 27050: Configuration.
When selecting UNI3.1 ATM Signalling from the Initial
ATM Signalling window, the following SNMP set commands should be
performed:
# 3: 09/14/96 12:04:59.019 INFO SLOT 3 MIB Code: 5
wfAtmSscopEntry.17. set to 2
# 4: 09/14/96 12:04:59.078 INFO SLOT 3 MIB Code: 5
wfAtmSigEntry.15. set to 2
Site Manager, however, sets only wfAtmSigEntry,
and not wfAtmSscop.17 to '2', thereby preventing the interface
from coming up for 3.1 interfaces.
Site Manager does function correctly after adding the ATM
interface, then selecting 'ATM Signalling' and selecting
'UNI3.1'
CR 23239: Configuration.
When configuring an MCE1 Link module with a line type of "E1 MF",
timeslot 16 is marked as "unavailable". Only 30 available
timeslots remain, which implies a maximum of 30 Logical Lines
(one per timeslot). This presents two problems. First, Site
Manager allows you to configure 31 logical lines. Second, Site
Manager will not allow the assignment of logical line 16 to any
timeslots.
CR 23584: SM:DLS.
24633 Enhancement request to add three new fields to the DLS
Global window to control the MIB attributes:
wfDls.wfDlsMultislotBcasts.0,
wfDls.wfDlsInitialPacingWindow.0
wfDls.wfDlsRfc.0
wfDls.wfDlsMultislotBcasts.0.
wfDls.wfDlsMultislotBcasts.0. allows you to
isolate CANUREACH frames to the DLSw ports on which the frames
are received. By default, when the router receives CANUREACH
frames, the software broadcasts them across all DLSw ports. The
Multislot Broadcasts parameter in Site Manager allows you to
enable or disable CANUREACH broadcasts over all DLSw ports.
wfDls.wfDlsInitialPacingWindow.0
wfDls.wfDlsInitialPacingWindow.0 is used in
capability exchange as an initial value for adaptive pacing.
wfDls.wfDlsRfc.0
wfDls.wfDlsRfc.0 selects the RFC implementation to run on the
router, either RFC1434 or RFC 1795.
To enable this function, click on the Values button and select RFC
1434 or RFC 1795. Refer to Configuring DLSw Services for detailed
information on the differences between these RFCs.
CR 24620: SM: Router Files Manager.
When you open the Multiple Router Setup window from the
Router Files Manager window, the Cancel button does not work
correctly when you attempt to cancel an entry after adding it
or removing it. The entry is saved but not cancelled.
CR 26749: Frame Relay.
When performing multiline on multiple slots, the protocols are not
copied from the "master" slot to the "slave" slot. Therefore,
if you have configured slots 2 and 4 for multiline-- with slot 4
containing the multiline masters (with IP, for example)-- slot 2
will not receive the protocols (IP) when it is multilined with
slot 4.
CR None. SM: Connection Manager.
When you enable or disable SyncPolling on a Sun workstation, the
values (1 and 2) recorded in the router MIB are correct. However,
when you enable or disable SyncPolling on a PC, the value recorded
in the MIB is a large negative number, which is incorrect.
CR 24616: SM-CONVERT.
When you run the Site Manager Report Generator on a configuration
file that contains IPX static services, it fails with the
following error:
"smcfgrpt error 0x4343: invalid instance id size"
CR 26732: Configuration.
When downgrading a hybrid PVC on a secondary backup, the virtual
circuit used by the hybrid is correctly removed, but the circuit
number is not removed from the master circuit's related circuit
list.
In addition, when deleting a secondary backup; that is, changing
the PRIMARY back to NORMAL, if there are any hybrid PVCs
associated with the secondary back up, the virtual circuit created
for the hybrid is not removed from the configuration.
CR 22515: Configuration.
The Image Builder displays every file as 20 bytes larger than its
actual size.
CR 24223: Configuration.
Site Manager allows you to select hardware compression for modules
that do not support hardware compression.
CR None: Configuration.
rpt2cfg cannot convert the IPX static service record instance ID and
the server name.
=============================================================================
5.00 Revision 1 corrects the following problem:
=============================================================================
Please note that rel/5.00 and/or revision 5.00/1 is used to manage revision 11.00/1. Revision 5.00/1 is necessary to properly manage the new MIB
attribute in 11.00/1, but otherwise rel/5.00 will work as usual.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CR 26702: LAPB.
Added a third option (activeDisc) to the MIB object
wfLapbEntry.wfLapbActionInitiate to enable LAPB to send a DISC
command as the initial frame after establishing a physical
connection to non-X.25 compliant IBM 5394 and 5294 controllers.
You can configure this option from Site Manager or from the
Technician Interface. From Site Manager, set "Initiate Link Setup
Action" on LAPB screen to ACTIVE DISC. From the Technician
Interface, set the MIB object
wfLapbEntry.wfLapbActionInitiate to 3 (activeDisc).
