cVrrpRouterChecksumErrors

Module: CISCO-IETF-VRRP-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-IETF-VRRP-MIB::cVrrpRouterChecksumErrors

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.999.2.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The total number of VRRP packets received with an invalid VRRP checksum value.

What is cVrrpRouterChecksumErrors?

This counts VRRP packets this router received with an invalid checksum and therefore discarded, a low-level integrity failure that happens before any VRRP protocol logic is even applied to the packet. A nonzero and growing value here points to something corrupting VRRP packets in transit - a failing switch, a misbehaving intermediate device, or even a malformed spoofed packet - rather than a VRRP configuration problem, since a real configuration mismatch wouldn't produce checksum errors specifically. If this counter rises at the same time a redundancy group starts flapping unexpectedly, it's worth investigating the physical/switching infrastructure between the VRRP peers rather than the VRRP configuration itself.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.999.2.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-IETF-VRRP-MIB::cVrrpRouterChecksumErrors

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.999.2.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-IETF-VRRP-MIB::cVrrpRouterChecksumErrors.1

Start monitoring Cisco routers/Layer 3 switches (VRRP gateways) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the CISCO-IETF-VRRP-MIB::cVrrpRouterChecksumErrors OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Cisco routers/Layer 3 switches (VRRP gateways) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Cisco routers/Layer 3 switch (VRRP gateways) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type cVrrpRouterChecksumErrors into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of VRRP packets received with an invalid VRRP checksum value. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
