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
Traps
An object to enable or disable the authentication traps generated by this
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).
