## Symptoms

- snpwalk/get commands returns the internal IP addresses when monitoring Virtual Systems on a VSX cluster, for example:  


`
[root@localhost ~]# snmpwalk -v 2c -c Public 192.168.2.1 .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20`  
`IP-MIB::ipAdEntAddr.192.168.196.2 = IpAddress: `**192.168.196.2**   
`IP-MIB::ipAdEntAddr.192.168.196.18 = IpAddress: `**192.168.196.18**   
`IP-MIB::ipAdEntNetMask.127.0.0.1 = IpAddress: 255.0.0.0`  
`IP-MIB::ipAdEntNetMask.192.168.196.2 = IpAddress: 255.255.255.240`  
`IP-MIB::ipAdEntNetMask.192.168.196.18 = IpAddress: 255.255.255.240`  
`[root@localhost ~]# `  

`[root@localhost ~]# snmpwalk -v 2c -c Public 192.168.2.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.27`  
`SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.1.27.1.2.1.0 = STRING: "eth1"`  
`SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.1.27.1.2.2.0 = STRING: "eth2"`  
`SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.1.27.1.2.3.0 = STRING: "eth3"`  
`SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.1.27.1.3.1.0 = IpAddress: 15.15.15.2`  
`SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.1.27.1.3.2.0 = IpAddress: `**192.168.196.2**   
`SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.1.27.1.3.3.0 = IpAddress: `**192.168.196.18**   
`SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.1.27.1.4.1.0 = IpAddress: 255.255.255.0`  
`SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.1.27.1.4.2.0 = IpAddress: 255.255.255.240`  
`SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.1.27.1.4.3.0 = IpAddress: 255.255.255.240`  
`[root@localhost ~]#`

## Cause

By design the VSX Internal IP addresses are registered at the linux/OS level for interfaces.

User Configured IP addresses are visible at the Gaia/OS level.
