egpNeighInErrMsgs
Module: CHECKPOINT-MIB-2
OID (symbolic): CHECKPOINT-MIB-2::egpNeighInErrMsgs
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.8.5.1.8
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter
Access: read-only
Description: The number of EGP-defined error messages received from this EGP peer.
What is egpNeighInErrMsgs?
Counts EGP-defined error messages received from this peer, as opposed to malformed or checksum-failed messages counted under egpNeighInErrs. This specifically tracks protocol-level error responses the neighbor sent back, which in the legacy EGP context would indicate the peer is rejecting something about the local system's requests rather than the messages simply failing to arrive intact. Example: a rising egpNeighInErrMsgs alongside a peering relationship stuck in acquisition(2) suggests the peer is actively rejecting the acquisition request, not just failing to respond.
