Cat 4000 and SNMP

[cwu]

I am trying to poll my Cat 4006 (WS-C4006) running Cat OS 6.1(2) with SNMP. I have discovered that polling the tables 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.2 (dot1dTpFdbPort) or 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.3 (dot1dTpFdbStatus) in quick succession, in any order, doesn't return any data after the first poll. i.e. it works the first time but successive polls don't return anything (as if the tables don't exist on the device). If you wait 10 seconds between polls data is returned as expected.

Has anyone seen this before?

Since you're on 6.1(2), this sounds like CSCdt36981. Also, for polling objects from the BRIDGE-MIB, you need to be aware of using community string indexing: ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/supportlists/wsc4000/wsc4000-communityIndexing.html

Thanks for the bugID. I'll have a look at it.
