Statistics

Description

 

 

 

snmpInPkts

The total number of messages delivered to the SNMP entity from the transport

 

service.

 

 

 

snmpInBadVersions

The total number of SNMP messages, which were delivered to the SNMP protocol

 

entity and were for an unsupported SNMP version.

 

 

 

snmpInBadC'tyNames

The total number of SNMP messages delivered to the SNMP entity that used an

 

SNMP community name not known to the GbE2 Interconnect Switch.

 

 

 

snmpInBadC'tyUses

The total number of SNMP messages delivered to the SNMP protocol entity that

 

represented an SNMP operation which was not allowed by the SNMP community

 

named in the message.

 

 

 

snmpInASNParseErrs

The total number of ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) or BER (Basic Encoding

 

Rules), errors encountered by the SNMP protocol entity when decoding SNMP

 

messages received.

 

The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) method of specifying abstract objects is

 

called ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One, defined in X.208), and one set of

 

rules for representing such objects as strings of ones and zeros is called the BER

 

(Basic Encoding Rules, defined in X.209).

 

ASN.1 is a flexible notation that allows one to define a variety of data types, from

 

simple types such as integers and bit strings to structured types such as sets and

 

sequences.

 

BER describes how to represent or encode values of each ASN.1 type as a string of

 

eight-bit octets.

 

 

 

snmpEnableAuthTraps

An object to enable or disable the authentication traps generated by this GbE2

 

Interconnect Switch.

 

 

 

snmpOutPkts

The total number of SNMP messages which were passed from the SNMP protocol

 

entity to the transport service.

 

 

 

snmpInBadTypes

The total number of SNMP messages which failed ASN.1 parsing.

 

 

 

snmpInTooBigs

The total number of SNMP Protocol Data Units (PDUs) that were delivered to the

 

SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is too big.

 

 

 

snmpInNoSuchNames

The total number of SNMP Protocol Data Units (PDUs) that were delivered to the

 

SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is

 

noSuchName.

 

 

 

snmpInBadValues

The total number of SNMP Protocol Data Units (PDUs) that were delivered to the

 

SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is badValue.

 

 

 

snmpInReadOnlys

The total number of valid SNMP Protocol Data Units (PDUs), which were delivered

 

to the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is read-

 

only.

 

It should be noted that it is a protocol error to generate an SNMP PDU, which

 

contains the value read-only in the error-status field. As such, this object is provided

 

as a means of detecting incorrect implementations of the SNMP.

 

 

 

snmpInGenErrs

The total number of SNMP Protocol Data Units (PDUs), which were delivered to the

 

SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is genErr.

 

 

 

snmpInTotalReqVars

The total number of MIB objects which have been retrieved successfully by the

 

SNMP protocol entity as a result of receiving valid SNMP Get-Request and Get-Next

 

Protocol Data Units (PDUs).

 

 

 

snmpInTotalSetVars

The total number of MIB objects, which have been altered successfully by the SNMP

 

protocol entity as a result of receiving valid SNMP Set-Request Protocol Data Units

 

(PDUs).

 

 

 

snmpInGetRequests

The total number of SNMP Get-Request Protocol Data Units (PDUs), which have

 

been accepted and processed by the SNMP protocol entity.

 

 

 

snmpInGetNexts

The total number of SNMP Get-Next Protocol Data Units (PDUs), which have been

 

accepted and processed by the SNMP protocol entity.
