Viewing SNMP Group Information

Figure13-1. SNMP Group Window
The SNMP Group Window displays a summary of PDU activity, and lets you
enable or disable the device’s ability to issue authentication failure traps.
SNMP Received Statistics
The fields described below represent counters which record various categories of
received SNMP messages.
Messages
The total number of messages delivered to the SNMP entity from the transport
service. If the device is a hub device, such as a repeater or a bridge, this number
indicates the number of SNMP data requests (Get and Set operations). If the
device is a management station, Packets Received (level of management traffic)
also includes trap messages. This field displays smnpInPkts.
Bad Versions
The total number of SNMP messages which were delivered to the SNMP protocol
entity and were for an unsupported SNMP version, according to the
snmpInBadVersions. SNMP messages include a version number but, SNMP, unlike
most protocols, does not try to resolve version differences. If an SNMP entity
receives a message with an unknown version number, SNMP discards the
message and increments the InBadVersions counter.
