We, at AdventNet take all efforts to ensure that our customers
do not waste their time and resources unnecessarily. This section
lists out the Known Issues available with the product at the time
of the release.
Network Designer
When the network is successfully started, the message "Network
started successfully" is displayed. Sending queries to the
simulator before this will cause the simulator to crash.
In Solaris OS, the system will be restarted when the network
is stopped.
In network creation, while specifying the unique values, if
you choose RAMDOM simtype, more than one value must be specified.
Specifying only one value, will throw exception and the network
creation will be affected.
If a WALK file with mismatched datatype is used to create a
device, the device will not be created properly.
The simulator allows to set both the following types of value
for atTable : 1.1.127.0.0.1 and also 1.127.0.0.1
If Start Network operation fails to start the network devices
for some reason, doing the Start Network operation again, will
not list the network name in the "Select the Networks"
dialog. As a work around, you can do Stop Network operation and
then do the Start Network operation.
During bulk modification of ipaddress for a specified range
of devices, if a device with new ipaddress is already present
in the network, this will be ignored by the simulator and the
same ip will be assigned. This will result in two devices having
the same ip.
Modification of timer traps in template devices will create
duplicate varbinds.
Sending traps using the "Send" button, will not send
the traps with Global IP address.
While configuring a script file, if a script with the same name
already exists in the configuration directory, this old script
is updated without any intimation or warning message.
UpInterface() and DownInterface() script APIs will not work.
User codes added inside the generated script will be lost if
the script is once again loaded and generated from the Behavior
Simulation Wizard.
The script configured for External index node will not be executed.
While connecting to a CLI agent, no characters should be entered
before the login prompt appears.
The "no" command in vlan mode may cause the network
simulator to crash.
Specifying invalid values to the IOS commands, may cause the
Network Simulator to crash.
When a query is made on a TL1 command code with completion code
configured as 'DENY', the error codes and error messages displayed
in the response are different for each query.
Deleting an accessId and message payload present in the device
tree, from the network device, will not delete the same. The response
will be generated.
It is not possible to connect to the TL1 agent using Telnet
from Windows machine.
Unquoted message is not supported in Valid response.
Error response supports only Quoted lines.
If script files are configured to be executed after the upload/download
of files in TFTP server, the script is executed even when the
file is not transferred.
Performing a FTP download from Windows to Liniux OS by specifying
a non-existing file, will hang the FTP client dialog.
The response time for the telnet device increases when the number
of telnet devices started is greater than 250.
Topology Editor
If a switch (s1), which has one or more devices connected to
it, is connected to a switch/router, the devices connected to
s1 will not be displayed. To display the devices, the router to
which s1 is connected must be clicked again in the router tree
on the left-side.
If a switch (s2) is connected to switch (s1), and s1 is connected
to a router, disconnecting s1 from the router, will not display
s1 and s2 in the remaining device panel, as s1 and s2 are still
inter-connected.
SNMP Agent Simulator
In the evaluation version, the first two group nodes will respond
based on your query. If there are a lot of OIDs between the first
group node and second group nodes, a MIB walk may time-out. This
is because of the evaluation restriction on two group nodes.
When configuring Simulation type for a counter64 data type
the value will rollback to the starting value when the value
reaches 2 ^63 -1. Where according to the original value, it
should accommodate 2^64 - 1.
Recording values from the real agent or modification of scalar
values will not invoke the Save dialog. The configuration must
be saved manually.
In Default Trap Generation there is a problem with getting varbinds
in case of v2 MIBS.
Modifying the instance value in a table in the SNMP agent simulator
will not delete the instance in DB and it can be queried from
manager.
The script API methods deleteRowWithValue, getAllTableValues
will not work properly for a table with external indexes.
The Default Traps generation will have problems when loading
multiple MIBs.
The script API method GetAllTableIndices() will return only
the internal indices for a table having both internal and external
indices.
Command line agent simulator is not supported in SNMP v3.
TL1 Agent Simulator
If the product is using JDK1.3 or JDK1.3.1 in Linux OS, starting
the TL1 agent in TCP port, will not free the port even if the
agent is stopped.
If the Command Code have both Valid and Error Responses in the
TCS, the Simulator simulates only the Valid Response lines by
default.
If a new access identifier / message payload is added after
configuring an autonomous message for a command code, then the
autonomous message configured will not be reflected in the run-time.
While configuring unquoted response lines, the parameter values
must not have any white spaces.
If the echo codes is configured for a command code, then while
adding an access identifier or message payload block through scripts,
the echo codes will not be reflected for the newly added access
identifier / message payload.
Changing the Target ID after starting the agent, will not be
reflected in the Timer Based Autonomous Messages. The new Target
Id will be reflected in the Timer Based Autonomous Messages only
after querying a command code.
The script API methods getLine() and deleteLine() for the Response
block will get/delete the line irrespective of whether it is quoted
or unquoted.
When a query is made on a TL1 command code with completion code
configured as 'DENY', the error codes and error messages displayed
in the response are different for each query.
SNMP Trap Stormer
The command line trap stormer will not exit by itself after
completion of sending of the traps.
SNMP Trap Recorder
In SNMP Trap Recorder, even if all the traps in the dialog are
deleted, clicking on the Save button will ask for a file name.
If the file name is specified, the deleted traps will be saved
in the file.
Note: It is not advisable to change the JDK version of the product.
