Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

A SNMPv1 snmpwalk from a Solaris system or a network management station for a OID that the Solaris SMA master agent does not support would fail with a error rather than a non-response.

In the case of the network management station this would result in a unexpected failure.
