due to some specific features, or a software error in the Cisco IOS software release. The
troubleshooting section of Troubleshooting Fabric Ping Timeouts and Failures on the Cisco 12000

IP_SNMP Messages
The following are Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) error messages that are specific to IP.
Error Message
%IP_SNMP-4-NOTRAPIP
: SNMP trap source [chars] has no ip address
Explanation The user entered an snmp-server trap-source command. The interface that was
requested to be used as the source address has no address associated with it. The SNMP trap is being
sent anyway, but with a different source address from the one the user intended.
Recommended Action There are two possible solutions. Either enter a no snmp-server trap-source
command to disable the request for a specific source IP address or add an IP address to the interface
referenced in the snmp-server trap-source configuration command.
Error Message
%IP_SNMP-3-SOCKET
: can't open UDP socket
Explanation The SNMP server was unable to open a port for receiving or transmitting SNMP
requests. This error usually occurs when the SNMP server is started using the snmp-server
community configuration command on a router or communication server with an interface that has
no IP address configured. Another possible cause is low memory.
Recommended Action Configure at least one interface with an IP address or specify the no
snmp-server command to remove the SNMP server process. Contact your Cisco technical support
representative if problems persist or if it becomes necessary to add memory.
Error Message
%IP_SNMP-4-TOOBIG
: Oversize message from [IP_address], datagram size [int], udp
length [int]
Explanation An incoming SNMP packet had a length field that was so large that the system assumed
it was in error. The system reacted correctly to bad external data. Since SNMP packets should
originate from systems under the same administration, this situation may indicate that there was a
problem in the networking layer of the network host used to originate the SNMP request. However,
if the SNMP packet originated outside the local administrative domain, the error could indicate a
failed attempt at security penetration, in which case that site should be watched more closely.
Recommended Action If the origin is local, no action is required. If the origin is determined to be
malicious, either contact the administrator of the originating site or install filters to prevent access
by that site, as circumstances warrant.

appeared and again after the message appeared, and provide the representative with the gathered
information.

information.
Error Message
%IPX-3-BADIGRPSAP
: Cannot send incremental SAP update to peer on [chars].
Increasing output-sap-delay may help
Explanation An incremental SAP update could not be sent because sending the update might cause
the SAP tables between peers to lose synchronization.
Recommended Action Increase the output SAP delay on the listed interface to reduce buffer usage. If
the message remains after changing the delay, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the
console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the
representative with the gathered information.
Error Message
%IPX-3-BADIGRPSAPTYPE
: Unsupported SAP type for EIGRP being [chars] - type [hex]

responses. This message is sent when you receive or attempt to send an SAP with a type code that is
neither a general query nor a general response. This message will also be sent when you receive a
general query that is not addressed to the broadcast address.
Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log,
contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered
information. If possible, also provide the output of the debug ipx sap activity and debug ipx sap
event commands for the period during which this message appeared.

the clear ipx route command. (This actions will result in the loss of connectivity until the routing
table is rebuilt.) If this message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console
or in the system log including information from the show ipx route command. Contact your Cisco
technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message
