What is cdmipSnmpAuthenticationFailureAddress?
This carries, only within the Authentication Failure trap itself, the IP address that sent the SNMP message with an invalid community string. Paired with cdmipSnmpAuthenticationFailureCommunity in the same trap, this is what actually identifies the source of unauthorized access attempts, letting an admin block that specific address at the network level rather than just knowing an attempt occurred. Seeing repeated authentication-failure traps all carrying the same address, say 203.0.113.44, would point an admin toward blocking that specific host rather than just tightening the community string.
