Circuit Modify Errors
Table F-2 describes error messages and lists choice buttons for typical SNMP set 
failures encountered during attempts to modify an existing circuit.
Note  – For a standard Circuit Modify, the SNMP set command is first sent to the 
lower-numbered node (switch circuit endpoint), not the higher-numbered node as is 
done with a Circuit Delete operation.
For a redirect Circuit Modify, the SNMP set commands are sent in the order of 
Primary, Secondary, and Pivot endpoints, not in the order of Pivot, Primary, and 
Secondary as is done with a Circuit Delete operation.
Table F-2. Errors Encountered During Circuit Modify Procedure
Type of Failure SNMP Set Failure Reason Available Choices
Standard PVC – 1st switch 
unreachable (lower-numbered 
node)
Redirect PVC – Primary or 
Secondary switch unreachable
The SNMP request timed out
(1st [or Primary or Secondary] 
endpoint identified).
Abort – Discontinue attempt to modify 
circuit (NMS database, switches, and 
out-of-sync status unmodified).
Retry – Attempt to modify circuit again.
Standard PVC – 2nd switch 
unreachable (higher-numbered 
node)
Redirect PVC – Pivot switch 
unreachable
The SNMP request timed out
(2nd [or Pivot] endpoint 
identified).
Abort – Discontinue attempt to modify 
circuit (NMS database unmodified, circuit 
dangling on 1st [or Primary or Secondary] 
switch; nothing marked out-of-sync). 
PRAM sync of endpoint cards will remove 
circuit modification.
Ignore – Discontinue attempt to modify 
circuit, but modify the circuit in the NMS 
database (circuit modify on 1st [or Primary 
or Secondary] switch; 2nd [or Pivot] 
endpoint card marked out-of-sync). PRAM 
sync of endpoint cards will modify circuit 
on both switches.
Retry – Attempt to modify the circuit again. 
Dangling circuit modification on 1st [or 
Primary or Secondary) switch will not 
interfere with the retry.
