Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

This chapter describes Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) messages. For information on message content and how to use the message, refer to the Introduction.

SNMP.001 

Level: P-TRACE

Short Syntax: SNMP.001 rcvd pkt frm hst source_address

Long Syntax: SNMP.001 received packet from host source_address

Description: This message is generated for each SNMP packet received from a remote host.

SNMP.002 

Level: P-TRACE

Short Syntax: SNMP.002 snt pkt to hst dest_address

Long Syntax: SNMP.002 sent packet to host dest_address

Description: This message is generated for each SNMP packet sent to a remote host.

SNMP.003 

Level: UE-ERROR

Short Syntax: SNMP.003 rcvd non-SNMP pkt frm hst source_address (err= value)

Long Syntax: SNMP.003 received non-SNMP packet from host source_address (error code = value)

Description: This message is generated by a first-level reasonableness check of an incoming SNMP packet. The error codes have the following meanings: 1 - packet does not begin with SEQUENCE (0x30) 2 - packet sequence length too small 3 - packet sequence length improperly encoded (in one byte) 4 - first packet field not an ASN.1 INTEGER 5 - packet sequence length improperly encoded (in two bytes) 6 - first packet field not an ASN.1 INTEGER 7 - some other error was detected

Cause: Another node on the network sent an improperly formed SNMP packet to the router.

Action: Examine the remote node, specified in the error message, for errors.

SNMP.004 

Level: UE-ERROR

Short Syntax: SNMP.004 bad ver version frm hst source_address

Long Syntax: SNMP.004 bad version number version from host source_address

Description: This message indicates that an SNMP packet contained an incorrect version number.

Cause: Either the router or the Network Manager is running an incompatible version.

Action: Update (or back out) one version of SNMP.

Cause: A bad packet slipped through the first-level error checks.

Action: Check the network for wild packets.

SNMP.005 

Level: U-TRACE

Short Syntax: SNMP.005 no access: comm community, hst source_address

Long Syntax: SNMP.005 no access to community community from host source_address

Description: This message indicates that an SNMP request from a remote host specified a community which does not exist or a community which did not list that host's IP address as acceptable.

Cause: The remote host is using the wrong community name.

Action: Update the remote hosts Network Manager.

Cause: The defined community in the router is incorrect.

Action: Correct the community name or add the remote host's IP address to the community's list.

SNMP.006 

Level: UE-ERROR

Short Syntax: SNMP.006 bad appl type appl_type frm hst source_address

Long Syntax: SNMP.006 bad application type appl_type from host source_address

Description: This message indicates that an SNMP packet had a bad request type. That is, it was not a GET, GETNEXT or SET request.

Cause: The remote host is in error (perhaps sending response packets).

Action: Check the remote host.

Cause: A bad packet slipped through the first-level error checks.

Action: Check the network for wild packets.

SNMP.007 

Level: UI-ERROR

Level: OOM

Short Syntax: SNMP.007 no free pkr bfr

Long Syntax: SNMP.007 no packet buffer available

Description: This message is generated when SNMP cannot allocate a packet in which to construct an SNMP response.

Cause: All available free memory is currently in use on the system.

Action: Retry query at a later time. If unsuccesful, a memory upgrade may be required. Monitor memory statistics to determine usage.

SNMP.008 

Level: U-TRACE

Short Syntax: SNMP.008 R/O access for SET: hst source_address, comm community

Long Syntax: SNMP.008 SET request from host source_address has read-only access on community community

Description: This message indicates that a SET request came in on a community which only provides read-only access to the MIB.

Action: Provide a community which allows sets or get the remote host to stop sending SET requests.

SNMP.009 

Level: UI-ERROR

Level: OOM

Short Syntax: SNMP.009 TRAP: no free pkt bfr

Long Syntax: SNMP.009 TRAP: no free packer buffer available

Description: This message is generated whenever SNMP cannot send a trap because it cannot allocate storage.

Cause: All available free memory is currently in use on the system.

Action: A memory upgrade may be required. Monitor memory statistics to determine usage.

SNMP.012 

Level: C-TRACE

Short Syntax: SNMP.012 comm name added

Long Syntax: SNMP.012 community name added

Description: This message is generated by the SNMP configuration routine when it reads a new community in from SRAM.

SNMP.013 

Level: UE-ERROR

Short Syntax: SNMP.013 rcvd non-SNMP pkt frm hst source_address

Long Syntax: SNMP.013 received non-SNMP packet from host source_address

Description: This message is generated by a reasonableness check of an incoming SNMP packet. This check is done just before processing the PDU.

Cause: Another node on the network sent an improperly formed SNMP packet to the router, and the packet slipped through the first level error checks.

Action: Examine the remote node, specified in the error message, for errors.

SNMP.014 

Level: UE-ERROR

Short Syntax: SNMP.014 bad ovarlen source_address frm hst ovarlen

Long Syntax: SNMP.014 length of variable to be sent out exceeds max length source_address from host ovarlen

Description: This message is generated by a length check on the variable to be sent out.

Cause: Another node on the network sent an improperly formed SNMP packet to the router, and the packet slipped through the first level error checks.

Action: Examine the remote node, specified in the error message, for errors.

SNMP.015 

Level: P-TRACE

Short Syntax: SNMP.015 rcvd get-req pkt frm hst source_address

Long Syntax: SNMP.015 received a get-request packet from host source_address

Description: This message is generated for each SNMP packet received from a remote host of the type get-request.

SNMP.016 

Level: P-TRACE

Short Syntax: SNMP.016 rcvd get-nxt pkt frm hst source_address

Long Syntax: SNMP.016 received a get-next packet from host source_address

Description: This message is generated for each SNMP packet received from a remote host of the type get-next.

SNMP.017 

Level: P-TRACE

Short Syntax: SNMP.017 rcvd set-req pkt frm hst source_address

Long Syntax: SNMP.017 received a set-request packet from host source_address

Description: This message is generated for each SNMP packet received from a remote host of the type set-request.

SNMP.018 

Level: U-TRACE

Short Syntax: SNMP.018 pkt frm hst : source_address caused err typ toobig

Long Syntax: SNMP.018 packet from host source_address resulted in a pkt with error status: toobig

Description: This message indicates that a packet was sent out with the error status as too big as a result of the SNMP variable in question not fitting the packet size.

Action: Increase the packet-size.

SNMP.019 

Level: U-TRACE

Short Syntax: SNMP.019 pkt frm hst : source_address caused err typ nosuchnam

Long Syntax: SNMP.019 packet from host source_address resulted in a pkt with error status: nosuchname

Description: This message indicates that a packet was sent out with the error status as noSuchName as a result of the SNMP variable in question not existing in the system or not in the view associated with the specified community or the operation is a set on a read-only variable.

Action: Ensure that the requested variable exists in the system (also possibly the particular instance of the variable), it is in the requested view, the community has the correct access type and the requested variable is writable if it is a set operation.

SNMP.020 

Level: U-TRACE

Short Syntax: SNMP.020 pkt frm hst : source_address caused err typ badvalue

Long Syntax: SNMP.020 packet from host source_address resulted in a pkt with error status: badvalue

Description: This message indicates that a packet was sent out with the error status as badvalue as a result of trying to set a variable with a wrong value specified in the SET request.

Action: Ensure that the SET request from the remote host specifies a value consistent with the ASN1 type of the value that it is attempting to set.

SNMP.021 

Level: UE-ERROR

Short Syntax: SNMP.021 Pkt discd, inp buffs low, net Network ID

Long Syntax: SNMP.021 Packet Discarded, input buffers are low, network Network ID

Description: The input buffer pool of the incoming SNMP packet, fell below the low watermark. The router dropped the SNMP packet to try and free up buffer space for other traffic.

Cause: A burst of traffic has overflowed the input buffers on an interface.

Action: If this occurs regularly then the input buffers of the interface indicated in the message may have to be increased.
