Error: OID not increasing: SNMPv2-SMI::dod, How to increase OID?


I am trying to implement a snmp agent with two different context name.I got some sample program .This is my agent side code look like . which I got from the snmplabs. I tried to implement it and I am facing some error while doing the snmpwalk.

"""

# Run I/O dispatcher which would receive queries and send responses
try:
    snmpEngine.transportDispatcher.runDispatcher()

except:
    snmpEngine.transportDispatcher.closeDispatcher()
    raise

when I ever I do snmpwalk like

snmpwalk -v3 -u usr-md5-none -l authNoPriv -A authkey1 -n context-a 192.168.2.233 .1.3.6 

It giving reply like

SNMPv2-SMI::dod = STRING: "You queried readNextVars OID 2019-11-21 19:18:22.566000"
Error: OID not increasing: SNMPv2-SMI::dod
 >= SNMPv2-SMI::dod

So my doubt is what I am doing wrong and how to increase this OID ?


Solution

  • Your server (agent) should never return lesser or equal OIDs than arrived with GETNEXT/GETBULK commands.

    With your code, make sure that readNextVars always returns increasing OIDs.

    SNMP manager has a check for that condition, otherwise manager-agent pair may engage in an endless exchange.
