VarBind error received while runing sm_snmpwalk in Smarts IP environment
Smarts 10.X / 2.X
The types of problems that can cause a walk error are:
To troubleshoot a VarBind error and other errors received when running a SNMP walk on a Smarts IP environment, run the walk with the dump and debug options. Use the following command options on the snmp walk and run the walk using SNMPv1:
<BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin/sm_snmpwalk --timeout=60000 -d -D -c (community string) -s 1 (device IP) 2> (device IP)_troubleshoot.txt
This will produce 6 files, the standard walk files (*.walk, *.mimic, *.snap, timeout_<device>.log) as well as a packet trace for the snmpwalk (*.dump) and any output to the screen in (device IP)_troubleshoot.txt.
The files of interest will be the dump file and the troubleshoot file. These files will contain any errors that the walk encountered. Search through the troubleshoot file looking for the word error. There will be OIDs associated with the errors that will help you determine which OID is causing the problem and the actual issue. You can then match the oids you find with errors to oids in the *.dump file to get more information about the problem.
