[mrtg] Intermittent but constant polling error

Tue Aug 19 19:09:00 CEST 2008

Below is an error message that I have been getting at least once each
hour from only the two switches in this enclosure.  I have 6 other
enclosures with the same type (Gbe2) switches that are all configured
the same as these two and I never get this error from them.  I can do an
snmpwalk from my mrtg server and it is successful.  I have tried
changing from SNMP V1 to V2c but it does not make the problem go away.

DOES ANYONE have any Ideas as to what might be causing this problem  or
how to correct it.
