SNMP Returning Invalid IP: 0.1.134.160

efries_wy
Level 1
Level 1

We have multiple CBS350 switches that when queried via SNMP, the switch returns an invalid IP address 0.1.134.160, along with several correct IP's.  The invalid IP is the same on multiple switches at multiple clients.

Walking SNMP on one of the switches returns this data.

 The IP is not found in the config.  The switches are running slightly different versions, including the most current  3.5.0.26.

How can I fix this?

Thank you.

Hello @efries_wy ,

I found the exact same IP address 0.1.134.160 /32 (or mask 255.255.255.255) presented through SNMP on several newer switches (CBS220 and C1200/C1300) just recently. It seems to be defined on vlan 1.
The corresponding interface seems to have index 100.000, name 1, description 1.

It's a reserved IP address and because of the prefix length of /32, it is a local loopback address which could be used for addressing an internal service. Though I don't know its purpose yet.

The number 100000 converted into the dotted decimal format is exactly the IP address 0.1.134.160, as can be seen for example in https://homepage.univie.ac.at/michael.poeltl/alt/py/ipaddress.html .

Interestingly the binary representation of the dotted decimal IP 0.1.134.160 is 00000000.00000001.10000110.10100000, which ends in 10100000.

Maybe some Cisco staff can shed some light into it?

I have frequently used "snmpwalk"
I'm not familiar with "walkOid"  ->could  it be this tool is translating this oid incorretly ?

but looking at the other matching OID's (netmask), it looks like it could be a (self-administered?, internal?, loopback?) interface

oid                             |valueInt|valueString    
--------------------------------+--------+---------------
1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1.0.1.134.160| |0.1.134.160
1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.2.0.1.134.160| 100000|None
1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.3.0.1.134.160| |255.255.255.255

you have not responded on my previous answer to your question, but i have another suggestion
SNMP also has a OID for interface names OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1
if you snmpwalk that OID and search the interface with the same index (1 i guess), you may get an indication where this address is used for.

Module IF-MIB (CISCO)
Nom ifName
Acces readonly
Status current
Description The textual name of the interface. The value of this object should be the name of the interface as assigned by the local device and should be suitable for use in commands entered at the device's `console'. This might be a text name, such as `le0' or a simple port number, such as `1', depending on the interface naming syntax of the device. If several entries in the ifTable together represent a single interface as named by the device, then each will have the same value of ifName. Note that for an agent which responds to SNMP queries concerning an interface on some other (proxied) device, then the value of ifName for such an interface is the proxied device's local name for it. If there is no local name, or this object is otherwise not applicable, then this object contains a zero-length string.

Hi Pieter, 

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate the ideas and help.
Data from SNMP walk of OID 1.3.6.1.2.4.20 using a different tool is below.  Results look the same.  I don't believe it's a tool problem since that result is returned by 2 different SNMP Walk tests and a different SNMP monitoring application.  
I'm not an SNMP expert so there c/b something else amiss with SNMP but I'm not seeing it.

I ran the other test belwo, and I have attached a sanitized support output file from an SG350 switch, the issue is happening on both SG350 & CBS350. I'm happy to run other tests if an idea comes to mind.

Thank you.

Ed

Hello @efries_wy ,

I found the exact same IP address 0.1.134.160 /32 (or mask 255.255.255.255) presented through SNMP on several newer switches (CBS220 and C1200/C1300) just recently. It seems to be defined on vlan 1.
The corresponding interface seems to have index 100.000, name 1, description 1.

It's a reserved IP address and because of the prefix length of /32, it is a local loopback address which could be used for addressing an internal service. Though I don't know its purpose yet.

The number 100000 converted into the dotted decimal format is exactly the IP address 0.1.134.160, as can be seen for example in https://homepage.univie.ac.at/michael.poeltl/alt/py/ipaddress.html .

Interestingly the binary representation of the dotted decimal IP 0.1.134.160 is 00000000.00000001.10000110.10100000, which ends in 10100000.

Maybe some Cisco staff can shed some light into it?

Wow, nice find and good to know it's not something in our configuration.  It's a bit annoying because it shows up in our NMS as an IP interface so it would be nice if that could be changed.
