AlliedView™-EMS 4.0.2 VLAN MANAGER USER’S GUIDE

Page 60 of 77

For the VLAN Name parameter, the current firmware version allows up to 19

characters to be entered via SNMP and up to 20 characters via telnet. Since VLAN

Manager supports the AT-9400 series via SNMP, the 19-character limit will apply

to all operations involving VLAN Name.

AT-9400 L3 Models: Changing the VLAN Mode parameter setting from 'Multiple

VLAN' or '802.1Q Multiple VLAN' to 'User Configured VLAN' may result in

unpredictable behavior.

Using an SNMPv3 account, adding a VLAN using a name that has been excluded

from the user account's view will result in an error message and the VLAN will

not be added.

Changing the VLAN Mode parameter setting using the currently set VLAN Mode

will result in the error message: "Error: Commit Failed."

Changing the VLAN Mode parameter setting from '802.1Q Multiple VLAN' to a

different mode may result in the error message: "Unable to communicate. Confirm

SNMP settings or login, and if the network is functional." However, VLAN Mode

is still set to the new mode successfully. To prevent this error message from

reappearing, go to File > Properties and increase the Retry Timeout value.

The current firmware version does not allow VLAN Manager to retrieve the device

VLAN information using an SNMPv3 account with no view access in any of the

following mib object: VLAN Name, Tagged/Untagged Ports, and Status.

An SNMPv3 account with "No Write" access will still allow users to configure the

Update VLAN Mode operation.

Using an SNMPv3 account with "No Write" access, attempting to perform a Restart

and Import VLAN operation will result in an error message: "An error occurred

during the operation. No Access."

After initiating a Restart operation, VLAN Manager will continuously attempt

to connect to the device for up to 1 minute until a connection is established. If a

minute has elapsed and connection has still not been established, an error message

will be displayed.

AT-9448T/SP: Changing the VLAN Mode to "802.1Q Multiple VLAN" using the

latest firmware may result in unpredictable behavior. Attempting to do so may cause

the device to reboot and VLAN Manager may intermittently fail to access the device
and will return an error message: "An error occurred during the operation.

Error: VLAN Information retrieval failed.".
