Symptoms

The SNMP OIDS ltmNodeAddrMonitorState and ltmNodeAddrMonitorStatus may return integer values in the range of 25-29, for which descriptions are not provided in the MIB (/usr/share/snmp/mibs/F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB.txt).

Impact

Meanings of integer values in the range of 25-29 are unclear for SNMP OIDS ltmNodeAddrMonitorState and ltmNodeAddrMonitorStatus.

Conditions

This is encountered when doing an snmpwalk of these OIDs.

Workaround

For FQDN Ephemeral nodes, snmpwalk should return integer status with descriptions, such as the following: F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrMonitorStatus."/Common/www.foo.com" = INTEGER: fqdnChecking(26) F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrMonitorStatus."/Common/www.foo.com" = INTEGER: fqdnDown(27) F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrMonitorStatus."/Common/www.foo.com" = INTEGER: fqdnUp(28) F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrMonitorStatus."/Common/www.foo.com" = INTEGER: fqdnUpNoAddress(29) F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrMonitorState."/Common/www.foo.com" = INTEGER: fqdnChecking(26) F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrMonitorState."/Common/www.foo.com" = INTEGER: fqdnDown(27) F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrMonitorState."/Common/www.foo.com" = INTEGER: fqdnUp(28) F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrMonitorState."/Common/www.foo.com" = INTEGER: fqdnUpNoAddress(29)

Fix Information

For FQDN Ephemeral nodes, snmpwalk now returns integer status with descriptions, such as: F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrMonitorStatus."/Common/www.foo.com" = INTEGER: fqdnChecking(26) F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrMonitorStatus."/Common/www.foo.com" = INTEGER: fqdnDown(27) F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrMonitorStatus."/Common/www.foo.com" = INTEGER: fqdnUp(28) F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrMonitorStatus."/Common/www.foo.com" = INTEGER: fqdnUpNoAddress(29) F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrMonitorState."/Common/www.foo.com" = INTEGER: fqdnChecking(26) F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrMonitorState."/Common/www.foo.com" = INTEGER: fqdnDown(27) F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrMonitorState."/Common/www.foo.com" = INTEGER: fqdnUp(28) F5-BIG-IP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrMonitorState."/Common/www.foo.com" = INTEGER: fqdnUpNoAddress(29)
