4335.0. "Enabling Traps and counter problems." by BIGUN::WULFF () Tue Jan 05 1993 01:37

I need some help please to fix these problems thanks.

1. I don't seem to be able configure the trap address table using SNMP. How do
   I do it? 

2. When is trap support going to be available for the bridges for link down/up?
   We have been short listed for a tender worth anything from $A2M to $A4M and 
   they would like to trap on link down/up messages.

2. As can be seen, from the text below, when accessing a Decbridge 520 there 
   are problems with getting the bridge status information and some of the 
   counters are incorrect eg

                          Device Frames Lost = 7730954240 Frames
                          Device Frames Lost = 7730954240 Frames
                          Frame Status Error = 4294967296 = ( 2 to the power 32 )
                       Frame Alignment Error = 4294967296                           Send Failure = 0
                     IP Datagrams Fragmented = 4294967296 Datagrams
          IP Datagrams Discarded No Fragment = 4294967296 Datagrams
IP Datagrams Discarded Illegal Header Length = 4294967296 Datagrams
         IP Datagrams Discarded Illegal Size = 4294967296 Datagrams


from other notes I noticed that other people have had problems but have not 
been able to find the solution.

    Subj:   RE: More DECbridge questions involving trap adresses and
    counters.
    
    I am commenting on the note written by BIGUN::WULFF in the MCC notes
    conference. I can provide answers for some questions, and others need
    more
    investigation.

    I have appended to this note a description of how to manage trap
    addresses             
    using DECmcc SNMP. Please note that you must have the DEC vendor mib
    loaded
    into mcc or else it won't recognize the objects.

    There are no plans to implement link up/down traps on the DECbridge
    5xx/6xx.
    The only traps currently supported are cold start and authentication
    failure.

    I don't know what the cause of this behavior is. I will try to
    reproduce it
    in the lab by this Friday. If it can't be reproduced, I will need more
    information from the customer site in order to diagnose the problem.

            PROCEDURE FOR MANAGING TRAP ADDRESSES ON BRIDGE USING MCC
            ---------------------------------------------------------
    
    The following commands and responses from MCC illustrate the method to
    manage Trap Addresses on the bridge. The IP Address of the test bridge
    is 16.21.16.128, and it's Read/Write Community string is it's hardware
    address. It is assumed that the SNMP AM module and the DEC vendor mib
    have been loaded in MCC.

4335.2Counter problems fixedQUIVER::WALTERWed Jan 20 1993 17:207
    Re: Counter problems on DECbridge 500 series
    
    Ken Rauhala found some initialization errors in the 500 code that
    caused incorrect counter values. He has fixed those errors, and we
    are now verifying the fix in the V1.3 Field Test code.
    
    
4335.3software and firmware available??GIDDAY::DRANSFIELDMike Dransfield, Sydney RSSGTue Jan 26 1993 22:457
    Can we get hold of the bridge AM for T1.3 MCC and firmware 1.3 for the
    DECbridge 5xx?
    We have a couple of DECbridges next week that we would like to make
    sure do the things that didn't work last week at the customer test....
    
    Thanks,
    Mike
4335.4Not yet readyTOOK::MINTZErik MintzTue Jan 26 1993 23:064
The bridge AM for T1.3 is not yet available.
For firmware, you probably need to talk to the bridge developers.

4335.5Field Test version can be arrangedQUIVER::WALTERWed Jan 27 1993 12:407
    V1.3 of the DECbridge firmware is currently in field test. It should
    be released in the March timeframe. If you would like to use the field
    test version internally, or are trying to solve a customer problem,
    contact me through mail.
