5435.0. "cisco local linterfaces lifTable counters Not Gettable" by GIDDAY::CHONG (Andrew Chong - Sydney CSC ) Thu Aug 05 1993 06:03

	
	When quering a cisco router for lifTable counters, all attributes
return "Attribute Not Gettable". The mib query utility return error number 2
(noSuchName or name unknown to agent) for the specific object queried. 

	Has anyone has any success with this ? 
	Could this be due to the version of s/w on the cisco router - V8.3.5.8  
       
	The lifTable counters contains useful protocol counters which a
customer would like to get. 

The text below illustrate the problem .

mcc> show SNMP rakx01_s5 cisco local linterfaces lifTable 1 all count

SNMP rakx01_s5 cisco local linterfaces lifTable 1
AT  5-AUG-1993 16:42:44 Counters

Examination of attributes shows:
                        locIfSlowInPkts = -- Attribute Not Gettable
                       locIfSlowOutPkts = -- Attribute Not Gettable
                      locIfSlowInOctets = -- Attribute Not Gettable
			.
			.
			.


Try using mib_query utility to get locIfipInPkts

$ mq :== $sys$system:mcc_tcpip_mq.exe
$ mq rakx01_s5 1 0
Enter a starting object identifier in dot notation.
Example: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1<CR>
OID> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.42
Request id: 1   Error number: 2   Error index: 1
------------------------------------------------

{Error number: 2 <----- noSuchName (Variable unknown to agent).}

	Maybe the table does not have an entry indexed by 1. Have you tried
	using a wild-card instead in the show command?

    same problem with wild-card show. 
    The cisco routers are using V8.3.x s/w. 
    
    I tried to check liftable counters on a DECBrouter90 running s/w V9.1.4
    and it returned values for the counters.  Looks like the V8.3 mip is
    the problem. The customer is unable to upgrade at this stage, is there
    any way to fix the mip ?
