Figure 5-1. IP Group Window
Forwarding State
Displays whether this entity is acting as an IP gateway in respect to the
forwarding of datagrams received by — but not addressed to — this entity,
according to the ipForwarding. IP gateways forward datagrams; IP hosts do not
(except those source-routed via the host). For some managed nodes, this object
may take on only a subset of the values possible. It is appropriate for an agent to
return a ‘badValue’ response if a management station attempts to change this
object to an inappropriate value.
The IP Group window displays the following statistics:
Received Datagrams
Total The total number of input datagrams received from
interfaces, including those received in error, according to
ipInReceives.
Header Errors The number of input datagrams discarded due to errors
in their IP headers, including bad checksums, version
number mismatch, other format errors, time-to-live
exceeded, errors discovered in processing their IP
options, etc. This field displays ipInHdrErrors.
Address Errors The number of input datagrams discarded because the IP
address in their IP header’s destination field was not a
valid address to be received at this entity. This count
includes invalid addresses (e.g., 0.0.0.0) and addresses of
unsupported Classes (e.g., Class E). For entities which
are not IP Gateways and therefore do not forward
