Stp Monitor; Reports - Extreme Networks EPICenter Software Installation Manual

STP Monitor

To remove non-existent links and extraneous L2 clouds, you can use the Discover Links command in
the Topology applet. This command will remove all down links and extraneous L2 clouds. Note that
this command will also remove existing links that are down, but EPICenter will rediscover and add
back those links when they come back up.
Problem: The Discover Links command removed legitimate links that were down.
The EPICenter server cannot discover a link if the link is down. Therefore, when it rediscovers links it
will only discover up links (or partially up links in the case of composite links). However, down links
will automatically reappear when they come up again. You can also use the Discover Links command
again after the down links have come back up.
STP Monitor
Problem: There are multiple STP nodes with the same name.
The EPICenter server identifies an STP domain by its name and tag. If you see multiple STP domains in
EPICenter, you may have a misconfiguration where the same STP domains are configured with
different tags on different switches.

Reports

Problem: After viewing reports, added a user-defined report, but it doesn't appear in the list of
reports on the main reports page.
The Reports page updates the list of reports when the page is loaded. To update the list, Refresh the
page.
Problem: Reports cannot be launched.
Due to a problem with Windows, sometimes reports cannot be launched. To solve this problem,
upgrade the version of the Internet Explorer or restart your PC.
