SNMP Polling – Infinite loop detected

Hello everyone,

I am polling an SNMP table from a simulation and every now and again I get this message in the logs:
ProcessSNMPValue|ERR|0|Detected an infinite loop when polling parameter with ID=8200

What are the cases where this message can be triggered? At this moment I can’t understand why this may happen.

Thanks

Hi João,

A case that I had in the past was that the SNMP Agent of the device was sending the last table entry back each time a Get Next request was done. Back then it was possible to see this behavior by using a MIB Browser and execute a walk on the specific table.
