  • 1.  Reconfigure Model Does not take New Mac Address of Device

    Posted Oct 16, 2017 07:40 AM

    Hi,
    We have discovered the WiFi Radio Devices in CA SpectrumFaulty devices are replaced with other devices with same IP with reconfigure model..

    when we do the reconfigure model...mac address of device shows old oneWhen we delete the device and rediscover it ..then we get the new mac.

     

    How can we get new mac of devices with reconfigure of device.

     

     

     

    Regards,

    Piyush

    I don't believe the MAC is retrieved as part of a reconfiguration.  I think there may be an idea for that...not sure.  Either way, try using CLI update action code 0x10112 on the device model handle before destroying it to see if it populates the new mac (this action code tells Spectrum to retrieve the MAC from the device).

     

    cd to $SPECROOT/vnmsh

    ./connect

    ./show models | grep <modelname>

    ./update action=0x10112 mh=<modelhandle of device>

    ./disconnect

    Cheers

    Hi Jay,

     

    any idea why update action results in following error-message (Spectrum-Version 10.2.0.0.245)

     

    ./update action=0x10112 mh=0x188683
    update: Request not implemented

    the action code seems to be a different one

     

    How can Spectrum reread a devices MAC_ADDRESS?
    Answer:

    Starting in CA Spectrum 10.2.3 (due out in Q1 of 2018) there will be a CLI update action code (0x10170) that can be used on the model.

    I have confirmed the 0x10170 action did NOT make it into Spectrum 10.2.3 as originally reported but is scheduled to be included in Spectrum 10.03.00 when released.

     

    KB000016716 will be updated to reflect.

    Hi Jason,

     

    Every day around 20 devices are replaced so kindly suggest feasible solution of it.

    Hi Piyush,

      We do have new functionality tentatively scheduled to be included in the 10.2.3 release due out in Q1 of 2018 which will allow you to execute an update action code against the model to reread the MAC_Address and populate the MAC_Address attribute.

    Cheers

    Hi Jason,

    will this action code be available in OneClick-GUI so that users can manually perform an update MAC-Address.

     

    I think this should soon be implemented in Reconfiguration-Task as a correct MAC-Address-Representation is crucial for a Mgmt-System like Spectrum.

    You can add the following to the reconfiguration-subview-config.xml and it created a MAC Reconfiguration button like the Device Reconfiguration button.

     

    <field-subview expanded="true">
    <show-labels>false</show-labels>
    <field-column>
    <column>
    <swing-cell-template>
    <renderer-class>
    <param name="actionID">0x10170</param>
    <param name="text">Rediscover MAC</param>
    <param name="toolTipText">Performs a MAC address discovery on the model</param>
    <param name="confirmSuccess">true;true</param>

    </renderer-class>
    </swing-cell-template>
    </column>
    </field-column>
    </field-subview>
