2.7.4 iflnUnknownProtos SNMP Metric
The SNMP metric ifInUnknownProtos is not currently reliable in counting layer 3 packets that DarkStar systems do not support.
2.7.5 SNMP Diagnostic Queries
Although infrequent, SNMP queries used to gather diagnostic information may report incorrect data for certain OID values. For
this reason, it is preferable to use the command line to gather critical diagnostic information. However, in general, SNMP
results are still useful for determining long-term system patterns and trends.
2.8 Duplicate IP Address Warning
Under some circumstances, DXMOS may not issue a warning if a duplicate IPv6 address is assigned to an ethernet port.
3 Hardware
The following caveats relate to hardware on DarkStar systems and networks.
3.1 OSC Module Hot Swap (Removal/Insertion) not Noted in Syslog
When an OSC module is removed or inserted, messages display on the console. However, the event is not clearly recorded in
the syslog. Instead, the event is recorded as either “Link Up” or “Link Down”.
3.2 Power Supply Message
It is possible when unplugging the power supplies to see the
Power Supply n has no power
message twice in rapid
succession.
