SNMP
This section describes symptoms with associated causes and recommended actions for
SNMP-related issues.
Symptom SNMP management station server is unable to receive traps from fabric.
Probable cause and recommended action
There are several causes related to this generic issue. You must verify the following:
• There are no port filters in the firewalls between the fabric and the SNMP management station.
• If your SNMP management station is a dual-homed server, check that the routing tables are
set up correctly for your network.
If you continue to have problems, collect the data in the next section and contact your switch
support provider.
Gathering additional information
In addition to supportSave, gather the MIB browser snapshot with the problem (like Adventnet
screen snapshot) for an MIB variable.
FIPS
This section describes symptoms with associated causes and recommended actions for problems
related to FIPS.
Symptom When FIPS is turned on, the switch constantly reboots.
Probable cause and recommended action
When FIPS is turned on, the switch runs conditional tests each time it is rebooted. These tests run
random number generators and are executed to verify the randomness of the random number
generator. The conditional tests are executed each time prior to using the random number provided
by the random number generator.
The results of all self-tests, for both power-up and conditional, are recorded in the system log or are
output to the local console. This includes logging both passing and failing results. If the tests fail on
your switch, it constantly reboots. Because boot PROM access is disabled, you are not able to exit
out of the reboot. You must send the switch back to your switch service provider for repair.
