Hi, I've many PORTswitch 900FP where I setup mappings for front-panel
ports to Ethernet channel groups. In the mapping matrix, I assign names
to each Ethernet groups (essentially they match up with the backplane
Ethernet channel names to help reduce confusion). However, I find that
these names disappear when the module is reset (power cycle or using
the console to "reset with current"). I have seen this problem on some
20+ PORTswitch 900FP so it is not a module problem. HUBwatch is v3 and
v4.
Can someone address this or let me know if they have manage to make the
names stick. Thanx.

Hi,
What you are seeing is real. The names assigned to the Port Groups
get cleared on a reset. I think the basic underlying problem is
that the MIB does not specify that this read-write object is
non-volatile. So, a reset clears it. Since there is no reason to
clear these values and probably every reason to not clear them,
on a reset with current settings, it would seem that the MIB should
be changed to define this object as non-volatile and as such the
implementation of it changed. (See pcomConIntLanName).
Just my $.02,
Bob

So who should I contact to have this rectified? I can assure whoever it
is that when the customer realises what happens they will certainly
demand a fix. I firmly believe we should fix things before it is
labeled a BUG.

Data that is to survive a power cycle or a reset must be stored in
NVRAM. NVRAM is expen$ive. This is always a factor in deciding what
data is non-volatile.
