%IP_SNMP-4-NOTRAPIP : SNMP trap source [chars] has no ip address

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.

IPX Messages

The following are Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) error messages.

%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]

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.
