Symptoms

The following message when querying SNMP ipCidrRouteTable: 'Error: OID not increasing: IP-FORWARD-MIB::ipCidrRouteDest.172.27.96.0.255.255.255.0.0.0.0.0.0 >= IP-FORWARD-MIB::ipCidrRouteDest.172.27.96.0.255.255.255.0.0.0.0.0.0'. Also, querying specifically for ipCidrRouteAge OID under ipCidrRouteTable, can cause snmpd to core.

Impact

snmpwalk error and/or snmpd core.

Conditions

This occurs when there are dual management routes in the default routing table, main. For example: # ip route show table main / ip route show ... 172.27.96.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 172.27.96.18 172.27.96.0/24 dev eth0 scope link src 172.27.96.18 metric 9 ...

Workaround

Delete the duplicate route with metric 9: ip route del 172.27.96.0/24 dev eth0 scope link src 172.27.96.18 metric 9

Fix Information

snmpwalk now finishes successfully without 'OID not increasing' error, so snmpd no longer core.
