Don´t send coldstart at start the program

jgonzalez · September 23, 2014, 11:11am

First of all, thank you for your help.

I have made a program that monitors some parameters and sends SNMP traps. My problem is that the program launches all traps, except the coldstart. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Best regards

What error messages are you getting? What version of Dynamic C are you using? Do you see this issue when running a sample program?

jgonzalez · September 23, 2014, 1:33pm

I use Dynamic c 10.72. I don´t have any error but when i check the data in the network with the program wireshark i don´t see this trap. But if another trap command while the program is running, the trap is sent.

Also, what board are you running this on and can you show us your code?

MargaretK · September 23, 2014, 1:58pm

are you seeing the same when running a sample program?

jgonzalez · September 24, 2014, 3:45am

I think the problem is that I start network with the function sock_init(), but I don´t wait to the interface come up. For that reason, the first trap wasn’t sent but the rest of them were sent correctly. I know that exist another function to start the interface and wait to come up sock_init_or_exit, but I can´t use it, because I need to have operative the console. Is there any function to check if the interface is come up?

jgonzalez · September 24, 2014, 3:52am

MargaretK I don´t see the same that the sample, but I do the software following the sample.

The differences are: I comment the code inside the function scale and I delete the line #define DISABLE_TCP because I use a telnet console.

int scale(snmp_parms * p, int wr, int commit, long * v, word * len, word maxlen)
{

/*printf("Callback: wr=%d commit=%d v(in)=%ld "), wr, commit, *v);

if (wr) {
// On write by agent, we ensure that the variable is within bounds.
if (*v > 200000000)
return SNMP_ERR_badValue;
if (*v < -200000000)
return SNMP_ERR_badValue;

  // OK, scale it up to internal representation.
  *v *= 10;

}
else
// Read by the agent: scale it down.
*v /= 10;

printf("v(out)=%ld
", v);/
return 0;
}

I did some test and I think that I found the bug. I need send the coldstart to two computers. I am changed the sample code SNMP1.C for send two coldstart to two differents IPs. If I send the coldstart only to one computer, work well, but when I send to both computers aren’t receive any trap in no pc.

The code that I test is the following

Have a look at the ifpending() and ifstatus() functions. These will allow you see the current status of the network interface so that you can hold of sending the trap until everything is up and running.

jgonzalez · September 26, 2014, 4:55am

Thank you petermcs. I put this, but I loss the traps too

while (ifpending(IF_DEFAULT) == IF_COMING_UP)
{
tcp_tick(NULL);
}

snmp_trap(IP1, SNMP_TRAPDEST , 1, 0, trapindices);
tcp_tick(NULL);
snmp_trap(IP2, SNMP_TRAPDEST , 1, 0, trapindices);
tcp_tick(NULL);

petermcs · September 26, 2014, 5:39am

I wonder if you are calling tcp_tick() frequently enough to allow the TCP/IP stack get its work done? I use a different approach in my product as I use uCOS II and have a separate tcp task which mainly just calls tcp_tick() to keep things going in the background. If tcp_tick() is not called frequently, the data transfer may not happen properly.

jgonzalez · September 26, 2014, 5:57am

In the main function y put some tcp_tick() and always after send a trap put a tcp_tick(). Do you refer to use a costate like this?

costate{
tcp_tick();
}
costate{
while (ifpending(IF_DEFAULT) == IF_COMING_UP)
{
//tcp_tick(NULL);
}

snmp_trap(IP1, SNMP_TRAPDEST , 1, 0, trapindices);
snmp_trap(IP2, SNMP_TRAPDEST , 1, 0, trapindices);
}

Yesterday I put the sample’s code SNMP1.C modified for send two coldstart’s traps. If I only send one coldstart it work well, but when I try to send two coldstart, don´t work it. Can you modified this sample for check it?

petermcs · September 26, 2014, 6:12am

I do something similar but using uCos II instead of the costates to manage my tasks. It works quite well and I don’t have to litter my code with tcp_task() calls.
