If you are running the following IOS levels:

12.1(7)M, 12.0(28)S, 12.2(18)SXF2, 12.2(18)SXF3, 12.2(18)SXF4, 12.2SX

there is a serious bug you should be aware of in IOS that causes a system crash when an IP SLA operation is added via SNMP. Below are the details.

Symptom:

IOS crashes when SNMP is used to activate an IP SLA Probe.

(CISCO-RTTMON-MIB)

Condition:

SNMP set request on rttMonCtrlAdminStatus. Network Management software uses SNMP set requests to create IP SLA probes.

Workaround:

Create a view and apply it to any ReadWrite communities. Example:

snmp-server view fixCSCsd36155 iso included

snmp-server view fixCSCsd36155 ciscoRttMonMIB excluded

snmp-server view fixCSCsd36155 1.3.6.1.6.3.15 excluded

snmp-server view fixCSCsd36155 1.3.6.1.6.3.16 excluded

snmp-server view fixCSCsd36155 1.3.6.1.6.3.18 excluded

snmp-server community private view fixCSCsd36155 RW

Replace "private" with read-write community.

Notice USM, VACM, and Community MIBs will need to be removed. USM, VACM and

Community MIBs are only removed by default in user created views starting with 12.3(4)T

Fixed in:

12.0(28)S3, 12.0(28.3)S, 12.1(22.3)E2, 12.2(18)SXF5, 12.2(18.10.19)SX3
