When I enable SNMP on my 1600 series router for the community of "API", I get the following error message. "00:27:20: %IP_SNMP-3-SOCKET: can't open UDP socket" Is this message normal, or is there a problem. Looking forward to your help.
TIA,
Mike

Hi Mike. Which IOS version are you running? Also, were any IP addresses configured on any interfaces at the time you enabled SNMP? Answers to these questions will help in replying to your question. Cheers.

Error Message
%IP_SNMP-3-SOCKET: can't open UDP socket
Explanation The SNMP server was unable to open a port for receiving or transmitting SNMP requests. This usually happens when the SNMP server is started using the snmp-server community configuration command on a router or communication server with an interface that has no IP address configured. Another possible cause is low memory.
Recommended Action Configure at least one interface with an IP address or specify the no snmp-server command to remove the SNMP server process. Call your technical support representative if the problems persist or if it becomes necessary to add memory.

i tried configuring snmp command on a 1600 with no ip addresses on the interfaces. But i am not getting any messages like the above one. So most likely the reason could be due to low memory.
