Cisco ASR9902 SNMP polling ... is interesting
by Drew Weaver 01 Aug '25

01 Aug '25

Hello, We purchased an ASR9902 I think almost 2 years ago now intending to replace 4 routers with them. We had a history of lets just say design decision quirks with the router that prevented us from deploying it until recently. Then when we finally were able to implement it we've noticed something strange about how SNMP polling works in the router. If we poll SNMP on any interface that isn't one of the built in management ethernet interfaces the response takes 8x-16x longer to respond and exactly 62% of the polls time out. If we poll SNMP on the built-in MGMT interfaces the responses are still slower than the ASR9001s that we used to use but they don't seem to time out. I've had a TAC case with Cisco open over this for weeks now and they are now saying that the slow responses and the 62% poll timeouts are intentional and that they don't see any problem with the design. I understand the security implications of having control plane stuff responding on all interfaces but the part I don't understand is why bind the SNMP daemon to the non MGMT* interfaces at all if they are making a moral or ethical decision to not allow SNMP to work on non MGMT interfaces. Shouldn't it just not work at all then? Who came up with 62% timeout as the right number? The larger implication is that I still can't find another router from another vendor that does this. Has anyone else run into this or did you guys all avoid the ASR 9902 like we should have? Thanks, -Drew

New c-nsp, j-nsp, a-nsp, etc mailing lists

I was a big fan of the *-nsp(a)puck.nether.net<mailto:*-nsp@puck.nether.net> mailing lists that now seem to be completely gone without any indication of whether or when they might return. I've been considering just setting up new ones. Please email me off-list if you think this might be useful. Thanks, -Drew
