2. Enter the dr command at the administrative console. If the following message appears, the IP
subsystem has initialized successfully:
[IP] IP router is initialized successfully
3. However, if one of the following messages appears, there is an unexpected condition present
within the SmartSwitch Remote Access Module software. Contact Customer Support.
[SNMP] SNMP initialization failure - unable to allocate necessary
memory
[SNMP] SNMP initialization failure - unable to open UDP port
Problem:
The SmartSwitch Remote Access Module does not respond to SNMP requests.
Action:
1. Enter the command snmp stats at the administrative console. If an "SNMP is not
enabled" message appears, you must first enable the SNMP Agent. For detailed instructions
for enabling the SNMP agent, refer to
2. If the SNMP statistics are displayed, check the value of the "snmpInBadVersions" statistic. If it
is non-zero, the Network Management station is generating request PDUs with an
incompatible SNMP version number. Such requests are discarded by the SNMP agent.
3. Check the value of the "snmpInBadCommunityUses" statistic. If it is non-zero, the community
name specified in the request PDUs does not have the proper access rights to perform the
desired request, and the request is discarded. To correct this problem, reconfigure the MIB
access level for the desired community name to the desired access level.
4. Check the value of the "snmpInASNParseErrs" statistic. If it is non-zero, the network
management station is generating request PDUs that are not properly encoded in ASN.1
format. Such requests are discarded by the SNMP agent.
Problem:
The SmartSwitch Remote Access Module does not generate SNMP Trap PDUs.
Action:
1. Enter the snmp stats command at the administrative console. If an "SNMP is not enabled"
message appears, you must first enable the SNMP Agent. For detailed instructions for enabling
the SNMP agent, refer to
2. If the SNMP statistics are displayed, check the value of the "snmpOutTraps" statistic. If this
counter is zero, the SNMP agent has not generated any Traps. Check your configuration setup
and ensure that at least one SNMP Trap Receiver is configured. If the value of the
"snmpOutTraps" statistic is non-zero, the SNMP agent is generating Trap PDUs. If a given
Network Management Station is not receiving Traps as expected, check your configuration
setup and ensure that the IP address and the Community Name of the Network Management
Station that is not receiving Traps is configured properly.
