Table 5-31SNMP Statistics (/stats/snmp)

Statistics	Description
snmpInASNParseErrs	The total number of ASN.1 or BER errors encountered by the SNMP pro-
	tocol entity when decoding SNMP Messages received.
	Note: OSI's 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 nota-
	tion 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.
snmpEnableAuth	An object to enable or disable the authentication traps generated by this
Traps	entity (the 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 parsing.
snmpInTooBigs	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 too big.
snmpInNoSuchNames	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 noSuchName.
snmpInBadValues	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 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).
