    The MIB that is in EMC is probably old and this is why you are seeing this message.

     

    We get this with our monitoring system as well and when I asked the vendor they said that it was from the MIB.

     

    We cannot update MIBs with our system. This occurred when we when to V10 and we are stuck with it. It is very annoying and we have had to write extra parsing on the message to filter this rubbish out.

     

     

    Cheers

Yeppy :) the mystery unwinded atlast, it was a wrong SNMP OID that's configured on the monitoring console..

 

The SNMP guys are correcting it, happy that we wont see the false alarm again :)

 

 

LTM was reporting the event "Packet rejected for disabled VIP" but the monitoring tool was sensing it as "Connection Limit Exceed" due to the misconfigured SNMP OID.

 

 

Thanks for all inputs throughout.
