Table 10‑3. Diagnostic Counters from SNMPv2-MIB (Continued)
Variable ID Mapping Description
snmpSilentDrops snmp 31
The total number of Confirmed 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 field 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 Confirmed 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.
