snmpProxyDrops

The total number of GetRequest-PDUs, GetNextRequest-PDUs,GetBulkRequest-PDUs,

 

SetRequest-PDUs, and InformRequest-PDUs delivered to the SNMP entity which 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-PDU could be returned.

The switch uses NTP (Network Timing Protocol) version 3 to synchronize the switch’s internal clock with an atomic time-calibrated NTP server. With NTP enabled, the switch can accurately update its internal clock to be consistent with other devices on the network and generates accurate syslogs.

The following table describes the NTP statistics:
