Troubleshooting System Management Issues
The system management features of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch allow you to monitor and
manage your network for efficient device use, role-based access control, SNMP communications,
diagnostics, and logging.
This chapter describes how to identify and resolve problems that can occur with system management and
the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.
This chapter includes the following sections:
•SNMP
•Logging
•CPU Processes
•Traps
•DNS
SNMP
SNMP memory usage continuously increasing
The show proc mem | inc snmp command shows continuously increasing SNMP memory usage.
Possible Cause
SNMP memory usage increases when SNMP requests are processed from different monitoring stations.
Typically, this situation stabilizes over time. If the memory increases continuously without stabilizing,
then some of the SNMP requests are causing a memory leak.
Solution
Review the output from the show system internal snmp mem-stats detail command.
Take example snapshots with the following commands while processing SNMP requests:
•show clock
•show system internal mem-stats detail
•show tech snmp

SNMP
SNMP not responding
No response or delayed response for SNMP request.
Possible Cause
If the switch CPU utilization is high during the SNMP operations such as GET, GETNEXT and WALK,
the response may be very slow or there is no responsethat results in a time-out.
Solution
While SNMP is not responding, check CPU utilization with the following commands:
•show proc cpu history
•show proc cpu sort
The output from this command shows which Nexus 5000 component is using the greatest amount of
CPU resources.
SNMP not responding and show snmp command reports SNMP has timed out
SNMP is not responding and the show snmp command reports that SNMP has timed out.
Possible Cause
The SNMP process might have exited, but the process did not crash.
Solution
Use show system internal sysmgr service name snmpd command which should show the state to
be“SRV_STATE_HANDSHAKED.
Example:
Service "snmpd" ("snmpd", 74):
UUID = 0x1A, PID = 4131, SAP = 28
State: SRV_STATE_HANDSHAKED (entered at time Mon Jun 14 17:12:15 2010).
Restart count: 1
Time of last restart: Mon Jun 14 17:12:14 2010.
The service never crashed since the last reboot.
Tag = N/A
Plugin ID: 0
Not able to perform SNMP SET operation
The following error appears when trying to perform the SNMP SET operation:
bash-2.05b$ snmpset -v2c -c private 10.78.25.211 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.305.1.1.6.0 i 1
Error in packet.
Reason: notWritable
Possible Cause
The SNMP community does not have write permission.
Solution
Check the output of the show snmp community command to ensure that the write permission is enabled.
Example:
Community Group / Access context acl_filter

SNMP on BRIDGE-MIB
The SNMP GET on BRIDGE-MIB operation does not return correct values and results in errors.
Possible Cause
The BRIDGE-MIB may not be supported.
Solution
Check the release notes to make sure that BRIDGE-MIB is supported on NX-OS Release 4.2(1) or later
releases.
Logging
System is not responsive
System performance is significantly slower or non responsive.
Possible Cause
Some system resources may be over-utilized. For example, an incorrect logging level might generate
many messages resulting in an impact on system resources.
Solution
Check the logging level on the chassis. If you have a logging level setting, such as 6 or 7, many messages
are generated and performance can be impacted. Use the following commands to display the amount of
resources that are being used.
•show proc cpu | inc syslogd
•show proc cpu
•show run | inc logging
•show system resource
Syslog server not getting messages from DUT
Although the syslog server is configured, the destination syslog server is not receiving messages from
DUT.
Possible Cause
Syslog server might not be accessible or the logging level might not be appropriate.
Solution

Logging
•Check to see if the destination syslog server is accessible from VRF management. Use the ping
<dest-ip> vrf management command to ping the server.
•Check that the syslog configuration on the DUT has use-vrf management.
Example:
logging server 10.193.12.1 5 use-vrf management
•Check that the appropriate logging level is enabled to send logging messages. Use the show logging
info command. If the logging level is not appropriate, then set the appropriate level using the
logging level <feature> <log-level> command.

CPU Processes
CPU Processes
High CPU Utilization
CPU experiences brief high utilization.
Possible Cause
Brief high utilization caused by CPU multitasking.
Solution
Spikes of high CPU utilization on the Cisco Nexus 5000/5500 switch is normal activity.
The show system resources command displays the high level CPU utilization for the supervisor module.
The show process cpu command with the sort option displays all of the processes sorted by the highest
CPU utilization per process. The show process cpu history command displays the CPU history in three
increments: 60 seconds, 60 minutes, 72 hours. Viewing the CPU history is valuable when correlating a
network event with the past CPU utilization.
Cisco NX-OS takes advantage of preemptive CPU multitasking, so processes can take advantage of an
idle CPU to complete tasks faster. Therefore the show process cpu history command might display CPU
spikes that are not necessarily a problem. Additional investigation is required if the average CPU remains
close to 100%.
Example:
switch# show processes cpu sort

Traps
Traps
Traps not received
The results of traps are not received.
Possible Cause
The traps might not be enabled or the SNMP host might not be accessible.
The following are possible causes:
•Traps might not be enabled.
•The SNMP host might not be accessible.
•A firewall might be blocking access.
•An access list might be blocking UDP port 162.
Solution
Use the following commands to check whether the proper VRF is configured for the SNMP host and that
the trap is enabled:
•snmp-server enable traps <trapname>
•snmp-server host <x.x.x.x> use-vrf <vrf-name>
where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the trap receiving device.
DNS
DNS resolution not working correctly
When specifying a host name using DNS or VRF, the host name is not resolved and an error occurs.
Possible Cause
The DNS client is not configured correctly.
Solution
Use the following commands to configure the DNS client:
•config t
•vrf context management
•ip host name <address1 [address2... address6]>
•ip domain-name name [use-vrf <vrf-name>]
•ip domain-list name [use-vrf <vrf-name>]
•ip name-server <server-address1 [server-address2... server-address6]>< [use-vrf vrf-name>]
•ip domain lookup
•show hosts
•copy running-config startup-config

DNS
Specified domain not removed from domain-list
When using the no ip domain-list <name> command to remove a specified domain from the
domain-list, only the most recently added domain is removed.
Possible Cause
The no ip domain-list <name> command is not locating the specified domain.
Solution
There are two possible workarounds:
•To remove a domain using the no ip domain-list <name> command that is not the most recently
added domain to the domain-list, you must temporarily remove every domain in the domain-list until
reaching the desired domain. Then you must add back the temporarily removed domains to the
domain-list.
•An alternative approach is to copy the startup-config and delete the desired domain with a text editor.
Then you must load the edited startup-config back onto the device.
