    ApplesX - 2009-02-19

    I just upgraded to 11.3 (way faster btw, what was taking 12 mins is down to 3mins!). I have a couple of errors, one I believe was there with 10.23, but the other I believe is new.

    The old one is:

    Warning: sw1, vlan 168, MAC 001cc4721111 has bridge interface 102, which has no ifIndex, skipping this MAC

    The new one is:

    sw4: couldn't get dot1dBasePortIfIndex table
    GetOneVlanBridgeTable failed, returning failure

    These errors only happen on 3750 switches (12.2(25)SEE2). All of my other switches and routers work fine. Output files are still created, and most information is in there, so I am not sure what problems these errors are causing, but just wanted to put this out there.

      Still getting an error, though slightly different, it mentions the VLAN now:

      sw4: couldn't get dot1dBasePortIfIndex table for VLAN 164
      GetOneVlanBridgeTable failed, returning failure

      Hope that helps.

        Could you verify the configuration of your switch, checking if

        1) VLAN 164 exists in the VLAN database (i.e. output of a "show vlan")... and

        2) is there a port configured to be part of VLAN 164 (even if VLAN 164 doesn't exist)? (i.e. IOS: show int status)

        ?

        Thanks.

      The old message means that there's an inconsistency in the SNMP data
      structures in your switch named "sw1". The switch has learned a MAC
      address in VLAN 168. The bridge table says that the MAC was learned
      on interface "102". To map 102 to a real interface, the program looks
      up 102 in a table. It can't find an entry for 102, hence the error. This
      shouldn't happen, but it isn't very serious. The program ignores the
      MAC address.

      Rebooting the switch may make the problem go away. It may also go
      away by itself when the CAM table entry for the MAC times out and
      disappears.

      The new error message is one I'm also seeing. Like you, I see the error
      only on 3750 switches. A friend has some and is graciously letting me
      use them to debug the problem. The problem only occurs on some of
      his 3750s. I don't know what's special about them. Also, the
      dot1dBasePortIfIndex can be retrieved by SNMP GETs, but not
      GETBULKs. When I have this fixed, I'll release version 11.4.

      Thanks for reporting it!

      I just released version 11.4, which fixes some of
      the errors having to do with dot1dBasePortIfIndex
      tables. Please try it and let me know how it does.

      Thanks!
