Issue/Introduction

Error: Qualified Access Address Not Found

Environment

Smarts 10.1.X, 24.3.X

Cause

The IP address of the system's SNMP agent is excluded because it is within the range of the ipExcludeList parameter in the discovery.conf file.

Resolution

Investigate all IPs on the device and locate one which can be used for discovery.  IP must be managed, belong to an interface which is of type normal and not be on the IP Exclude list.
