3.2. Timers in Linux

Problem:

Unable to attach timer

Cause:

You probably haven't installed the SRR Module, which is required to run any of Cogent's products in Linux.

Solution:

Simply download the SRR Module module from the Cogent web site, uncompress it, become root and run:

# make; makeinstall

If you have already done this and you still get the error message, then it indicates that the SRR Module is not auto-loading correctly, and you either must manually load it (typically through /etc/rc.d/rc.local), or recompile your kernel to include the kernel auto-loader feature. The documentation for the SRR Module should explain this sufficiently.
