Table 9‑3. Diagnostic Counters from SNMPv2-MIB (Continued)
Variable ID Mapping Description
snmpInBadCommunityUses snmp 5
The total number of community-based SNMP messages
delivered to the SNMP entity that represented an SNMP
operation that was not allowed for the community named
in the message.
snmpInASNParseErrs snmp 6
The total number of ASN.1 or BER errors encountered by
the SNMP entity when decoding received SNMP
messages.
snmpEnableAuthenTraps snmp 30
Indicates whether the SNMP entity is permied to
generate authenticationFailure traps. The value of this
object overrides any conguration information. It
therefore provides a means of disabling all
authenticationFailure traps.
snmpSilentDrops snmp 31
The total number of Conrmed Class PDUs delivered to
the SNMP entity that were silently dropped because the
size of a reply containing an alternate Response Class
PDU with an empty variable-bindings eld was greater
than either a local constraint or the maximum message
size associated with the originator of the request.
snmpProxyDrops snmp 32
The total number of Conrmed Class PDUs delivered to
the SNMP entity that were silently dropped because the
transmission of the message to a proxy target failed in a
manner other than a time-out such that no Response
Class PDU could be returned.
