## Symptoms

- * SNMP functionality does not work on Gaia OS.

* */var/log/messages* file shows that "snmpd" is restarted repeatedly.

  *Example* :  
  `
  pm[5477]: Scheduled snmpd for +900 secs`  
  `
  pm[5477]: Restarted /usr/sbin/snmpd[7886], count=2672`  
  `
  pm[5477]: Reaped: snmpd[7886]I got it, client changed the ip address of one of the interfaces.`  
  `
  pm[5477]: Scheduled snmpd for +900 secs`  
  `
  pm[5477]: Restarted /usr/sbin/snmpd[15957], count=2673I`  
  `
  `
* Output of "*cat /config/active*" command shows that IP address, to which the snmp daemon is bound does not belong to any interface:

  `snmp:bind_addr:[IP_Address] t`
