EPICenter Software Installation and User Guide 461
Problem: Under Solaris, an error occurs when attempting to enable the EPICenter Syslog server
function.
By default, Solaris runs its own Syslog server. This causes an error “Syslog Server unable to start:
Address already in use” when you attempt to enable the EPICenter syslog server. You must first stop
the Solaris syslog server in order to have EPICenter act as a Syslog receiver. To stop the Solaris Syslog
server, use the command:
/etc/init.d/syslog stop
Problem: EPICenter is not receiving traps.
If the IP address of a lost EPICenter host is changed while EPICenter is running, the system will not
receive traps. To fix the problem, restart the EPICenter server.
Problem: Policy Manager button does not appear in the Navigation Toolbar.
The EPICenter Policy Manager is a separately-licensed module, and requires installation of a separate
license key through the
instlic
license key utility. When you purchase the right to use the Policy
Manager applet, you will receive an activation key, found on the License Agreement included in your
software package. This key starts with “AC,” and can be used to obtain a permanent license key. You do
not need an activation key to obtain an evaluation license key.
To obtain a license key, use your browser to connect to the license page at
http://www.extremenetworks.com/go/epickey.htm. You can obtain an evaluation key or a permanent key
through this page. You will need your activation key to obtain a permanent license key. In either case,
you will be asked to enter some information about yourself, and the license key will be sent to you by
return e-mail. Follow the instructions in the EPICenter Software Installation Guide or the EPICenter Release
Note and Quick Start Guide to add this license to your EPICenter installation.
VLAN Manager
Problem: Multiple VLANs have the same name.
A VLAN is defined by the name, its tag value, and its protocol filter definition. EPICenter allows
multiple VLANs of the same name if one of the defining characteristics of one VLAN is different from
the other.
Problem: Multiple protocols have the same name.
EPICenter allows multiple protocols of the same name if one of the defining characteristics of one
protocol is different from the other.
Problem: Created a new protocol in VLAN Manager, but the protocol does not appear on any switch.
When a new protocol is created, it is stored in the EPICenter database. EPICenter only creates the
protocol on a switch when the new protocol is used by a VLAN on that switch.
Problem: Can only access one of the IP addresses on a VLAN configured with a secondary IP
address.
EPICenter does not currently support secondary IP addressing for a VLAN.
