Configure

The following are possible reasons why an interface point might have a status of Configure.

OID does not exist

The network device reported back that the OID specified in the point’s instrument tag (or extended descriptor) attribute is nonexistent. To check the existence of an OID on the network device, run Getif.

Location3=1 and OID does not exist for a point in the set

When location3 is set to 1, the interface groups points containing host and user settings into a single SNMP GET request. If any of the points in the group has an OID that is not recognized by the remote device, the interface writes Configure for all of the points in this set. The interface logs the error; for example:

The interface- 2> Device reports at least 1 unknown OID in the following set of 2 tags:
The interface- 2> Tag: router_tx_Ethernet0/0, OID: interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOutOctets.85
The interface- 2> Tag: router_jab_4, OID: rmon.statistics.etherStatsTable.EtherStatsEntry .etherStatsJabbers

To find out which point contains the unsupported OID, use the Getif program.

Note that a network device might erroneously report that the OID does not exist.

Invalid counter tag

A point configured with location2 set to 1 must be of type counter as returned by the SNMP agent. To check the OID type as returned by the SNMP agent, run Getif.
