Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 16 • SNMP
The following sections describe the statistical counts displayed in the In and Out columns on the SNMP win-
dow, as well as the configurable parameter for Authentication Failure Traps.
SNMP Parameters (snmpEnableAuthenTraps)
This value indicates whether the SNMP agent process is permitted to generate authentication-failure traps.
The variable is global. This means that by being disabled, all authentication-failure traps are disabled.
The two options for this variable are:
enabled(1)
disabled(2)
Once you have modified the value of Authentication Failure Traps you must click the Modify button to
save your settings into volatile DRAM. Once you click the button, the T-DAC will implement the
changes immediately.
Note
To save your changes permanently, (i.e. through a T-DAC power
cycle) you must visit the T-DAC HOME page, and click the Save
Current Configuration button. When you click the Save Current
Configuration button, the T-DAC will copy the configuration cur-
rently stored in volatile DRAM into non-volatile Flash memory for
permanent storage.
SNMP Statistics
This section describes the statistical counts displayed in the statistics columns on the SNMP window.
Received Statistics
Packets (snmpInPkts). The total number of Messages delivered to the SNMP entity from the transport ser-
vice. Typically this would be UDP since the SNMP engine sits on top of UDP
Bad Version (snmpInBadVersions). The total number of SNMP Messages that were delivered to the SNMP
protocol entity and were for an unsupported SNMP version.
Bad Community Names (snmpInBadCommunityNames). The total number of SNMP Messages delivered
to the SNMP protocol entity which used a SNMP community name not known to said entity.
Bad Community Uses (snmpInBadCommunity Uses). The total number of SNMP messages delivered to
the SNMP protocol entity which represented an SNMP operation which was not allowed by the SNMP com-
munity named in the message.
ASN ParseErrors (snmpInASNParseErrs). The total number of ASN.1 or BER errors encountered by the
SNMP protocol entity when decoding received SNMP messages.
Error Status “Too Big” (snmpInTooBigs). The total number of SNMP PDUs that were delivered to the
SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is tooBig.
No Such Names (snmpInNoSuchNames). The total number of SNMP PDUs that were delivered to the
SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is noSuchName.
