MCPD does not reply to the request if the publisher's connection closes or fails. In this case, when bcm56xxd is restarted, the perceivable signs of failure are: - The snmpwalk failing with a timeout and - The "MCPD query response exceeding" log messages.
SNMP stopped responding to queries after upgrade.
1) Configure SNMP on the BIG-IP to run snmpwalk locally on the BIG-IP. 2) From the first session on the BIG-IP, run a snmpwalk in the while loop. while true;do date; snmpwalk -v2c -c public 127.0.0.1 sysDot1dbaseStat;sleep 2;done Sample output: Sat Aug 21 00:57:23 PDT 2021 F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysDot1dbaseStatResetStats.0 = INTEGER: 0 F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysDot1dbaseStatMacAddr.0 = STRING: 0:23:e9:e3:8b:41 F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysDot1dbaseStatNumPorts.0 = INTEGER: 12 F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysDot1dbaseStatType.0 = INTEGER: transparentonly(2) 3) From a second session on the BIG-IP restart bcm56xxd bigstart restart bcm56xxd 4) The snmpwalk will continually report the following: Timeout: No Response from 127.0.0.1 And snmpd will continually log "MCPD query response exceeding" every 30 seconds in /var/log/ltm.
Restart SNMP.
