Restart SNMPD process on NX-OS

[pdub206]

Hi,

I'm trying to find out if there is a command in NX-OS to clear an SNMPD process.  I believe I have a Nexus 3048 that is suffering from high snmpd cpu usage, and I would like to restart just the snmpd process to see if that clears the problem before a full reload.

I can't seem to find an option under the "clear" command, and the only reference I can find to my situation on the interwebz is here:

Under section 6.

However, it requires a plugin that I do not have.  Any thoughts? I could remove the configuration and add it back in, but if possible I'd rather just kill the PID.

Thanks in advance,

PW

Hello Patrick

Like you mentioned, it requires a plugin. The plugin is internal to Cisco. If you require to restart the snmpd process, you can open a TAC case and the tac engineer can help you reset the process using that plugin.

You can try removing the configuration but i dont really think its going to help much in your case. Its important to troubleshoot why the CPU is being high  due to SNMP process.
