Bug ID 539125: SNMP: ifXTable walk should produce the available counter values instead of zero

Last Modified: Sep 13, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP TMOS(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
11.6.0, 11.6.1, 11.6.2, 11.6.3, 11.6.3.1, 11.6.3.2, 11.6.3.3, 11.6.3.4, 11.6.4, 11.6.5, 11.6.5.1, 11.6.5.2, 11.6.5.3, 12.0.0, 12.0.0 HF1, 12.1.0 HF1, 12.0.0 HF2, 12.1.0 HF2, 12.1.1 HF1, 12.1.1 HF2, 12.1.2 HF1, 12.1.2 HF2

Fixed In:
12.1.0, 12.0.0 HF3, 11.5.4 HF2

Opened: Aug 11, 2015

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

The SNMP ifXTable is presenting zeros for attributes hc_in_multicast_pkts and hc_out_multicast_pkts. However, this data is available on the Big-IP and should be presented.

Impact

Inability to characterize/view counts for the above-referenced multicast packets via SNMP.

Conditions

snmpwalk the ifTable and the ifXTable. The ifTable shows Counter32 values for attributes in_multicast_pkts and out_multicast_pkts, but the ifXTable shows zeros for the Counter64 equivalent attributes hc_in_multicast_pkts and hc_out_multicast_pkts (except for vlans, which are correct).

Workaround

None

Fix Information

The snmp walk described in the Symptom/Known issues field gives meaningful results after application of this hotfix.
