Sample log message
  
Mar 22 21:39:51 General[procLOG]: l7_ns_mibs.c(XXXX) XXXXXXXX %% ERR truncating integer value > 32 bits

Oorzaak

  • If the switches uptime is more than 497 days, this message would be output when snmp polling is done to bellow MIB or OID
SNMP MIB : agentInventoryUnitUpTime
SNMP OID : 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.13.2.2.1.14
  • The reason for this log message is because MIB agentInventoryUnitUpTime is Counter32, which means it is a 32-bit integer counter. If 497 days of switch uptime is crossed, then its corresponding integer value exceeds 32 bit and hence value overflows.

Oplossing

It's advised to take the following actions mentioned below.

    1. From 6.8.1.1 this log message level is DEBUG instead of ERROR. Hence it can be upgrades to any firmware to 6.8.1.1 and above.

     2.Stop polling to    
SNMP MIB : agentInventoryUnitUpTime
SNMP OID : 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.13.2.2.1.14
                                                                                      
     3. Restart the switch so that the uptime value resets.
