Monitoring SNMP issue

Hello,

 

I'm working on monitoring my BIG-IP 10.1.0 Build 3341.0 Final. I'm running the following snmp command which should return a hex-string of that I can convert to an IP address.

 

snmpwalk -m ALL -v 2c -c public lb.com .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.10.1.2.1.3

 

However, there a couple of Virtual Servers that return STRING: "F*>..." rather than Hex-String: Any ideas what is going on here?

 

Thanks mjr

    What IP address are you trying to retrieve, and what do you want to do with it?

    It is the virtual server's IP Address. Should return something like the following. F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmVirtualServAddr."xxx_http" = Hex-STRING: 40... Instead I'm getting the following only on a small handful of virtual servers F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmVirtualServAddr."xxx_http" = STRING: "F*>(" I'm using this with my monitoring software for reporting and monitoring.

    Here's a sample of the response from an 11.x VE:

    snmpwalk -m ALL -v 2c -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.10.1.2.1.3
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmVirtualServAddr."/Common/vea_http_vs" = Hex-STRING: 0A 00 29 69

    What are the VS names which return the garbled characters?
