Closed as program error.
Error description
This APAR is only applicable when PI45028/UI35411 is applied due to changes in the ioctl structure introduced for SMC-D. SNMP TCP/IP subagent issues message EZZ3210I when trying to obtain interface counter data. The interface index value in the message is incorrect. It may be zero or a negative number. EZZ3210I SNMP subagent: interface index 0 not found in SNMP interfaces table. EZZ3210I SNMP subagent: interface index -797857892 not found in SNMP interfaces table. The SNMP subagent was unable to match interface counter data to the set of interfaces defined for the TCP/IP stack.
Local fix
The EZZ3210I message is only issued to the console if the syslog daemon is not started. To stop the console messages you can do the following: -Stop the TCP/IP subagent by issuing the VARY TCPIP,,OBEYFILE command with a profile data set that contains this statement: SACONFIG DISABLED. -Start the Syslog Daemon. -Restart the TCP/IP subagent by issuing the VARY TCPIP,,OBEYFILE command with a profile data set that contains the SACONFIG statement from your initial profile. By using the VARY TCPIP,,OBEYFILE command, you can stop and restart the subagent without stopping your TCP/IP stack. If you don't need to run the TCP/IP subagent, you can just stop it as explained above. You will also need to add the SACONFIG DISABLED profile statement to your initial profile data set.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * All users of the IBM Communications Server for z/OS Version * * 2 Release 2 IP: SNMP TCP/IP subagent * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * SNMP TCP/IP subagent issues error message EZZ3210I for * * interface counters * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Apply the PTF if PI45028/UI35411 is applied. * **************************************************************** This APAR is only applicable when PI45028/UI35411 is applied due to changes in the ioctl structure introduced for SMC-D. The SNMP TCP/IP subagent did not correctly process the interface counter data from the TCP/IP stack. If the syslog daemon is not started then the EZZ3210I messages will be written to the console. If the syslog daemon is started, then the EZZ3210I messages will only be written to the syslog daemon. In both cases all the interface counter data supported by the SNMP TCP/IP subagent will be zero except for the IPv4 LOOPBACK interface.
Problem conclusion
The SNMP TCP/IP subagent has been updated to correctly process the interface counter data from the TCP/IP stack.
