Description:
Symptoms
Receive the following error in the MCAST log file: pim-interface.asl : No MCAST speaker discovered for <device_name> discovery
Cause
This error may be generated for the following reasons: When a device discovered by the Smarts Multicast domain is not MCAST-enabled.When the SNMP time-out is too short and the discovery does not wait long enough for the devices to respond.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, do the following: Verify/ensure that the PIM MIB (.1.3.6.1.3.61.1.1.5.1.6) is enabled on the device.If necessary, the SNMP time-out can be increased. This is done in the multicast.conf configuration file found here: <BASEDIR>/MCAST/smarts/conf/mcast The following example shows the SNMP_timeout and SNMP_retries in this file increased from their default settings (the default values are commented out): ################################################################ # SNMP Parameters ################################################################ # SNMP timeout to be set for discovery ## SNMP_timeout = 500 SNMP_timeout = 1000 # SNMP number of retries to be set for discovery ## SNMP_retries = 2 SNMP_retries = 3
