Avoiding the Dropping of SNMP Traps
When the snmp-server enable traps command is given without any options, it enables all traps, which
can generate a significant number of traps at key events, such as system power-up. If the SNMP queue
is not large enough to handle all of the traps, new traps will be dropped without notification until the
existing traps are sent and slots become available in the queue.
can generate a significant number of traps at key events, such as system power-up. If the SNMP queue
is not large enough to handle all of the traps, new traps will be dropped without notification until the
existing traps are sent and slots become available in the queue.
You can do two things to avoid dropping traps in this situation:
•
Increase the SNMP trap queue size. The default queue size is 10, which is insufficient to handle all
traps. Use the snmp-server queue-length length global configuration command to increase the
queue size. The length parameter can range from 10 to 1000. Increase the queue size until traps are
no longer dropped.

•
Disable unneeded SNMP traps. For example, if you do not need SYSLOG traps (which are sent for
every message displayed on the console), disable those traps as follows:

router(config)# snmp-server enable traps
router(config)# no snmp-server enable traps syslog
Cable Monitor is Not Supported
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XF1 does not support the cable monitor command.
Configuring the Routing Protocol Causes a Reset of the Cable Modems
Be aware that when configuring a routing protocol on an interface, the Cisco IOS software must reset
the interface to enable the change. This normally does not significantly affect operations on the interface,
except that when this is done on a cable interface, it causes all cable modems on that particular
downstream to reinitialize, potentially interfering with data transmission on that downstream. Therefore
you should use the interface configuration commands, such as router rip, on a cable interface only when
a minimum of subscribers would be affected.

Redundant PRE Modules Are Not Supported
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XF1 does not support Route Processor Redundancy (RPR) for the
Performance Routing Engine (PRE) cards. Although two PRE modules can be installed in a
Cisco uBR10012 chassis, Cisco does not guarantee that upon a failure of the primary PRE module in
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XF1, the redundant PRE module can automatically bring up all DOCSIS
cable interface line cards.
