For several days we have at the same time an error on one of our Cisco 6509 core switches. This error occurs day after day between 22:07 to 22:15 on SNMP sensors.

Hi, does the error appear and disappears without any impact? Is the error on all SNMP sensors of the device or only on a specific Sensor? Is the connection to the switch directly over ethernet or over the Internet?

from my point of view ... Yes, the error affects all SNMP sensors on the device, the switch is connected directly via Ethernet

Colleagues who diagnosed the problem suggested a switch is heavy load of SNMP requests - 100 per second

100 SNMP requests per second? Where do they come from? Which Scanning-interval do you have in PRTG?

Maybe is the SNMP service overloaded. The switch is not configured to restart at this time?

SNMP requests come form PRTG, Netcrunch and inventory tools Cisco Prime . I have 326 sensors on the switch. Scan interval is set to 5 min.

I deactivated monitoring of the device for time of inventory scan and that help.
