Module: CISCO-PIM-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-PIM-MIB::cpimInvalidRegisterMsgsRcvd

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.184.1.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: A count of the number of invalid PIM Register messages received by this device. A PIM Register message is termed invalid if o the encapsulated IP header is malformed, o the destination of the PIM Register message is not the RP (Rendezvous Point) for the group in question, o the source/DR (Designated Router) address is not a valid unicast address.

What is cpimInvalidRegisterMsgsRcvd?

Counts the number of invalid PIM Register messages received by the device, such as messages with a malformed encapsulated IP header or sent to a router that is not the Rendezvous Point.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.184.1.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-PIM-MIB::cpimInvalidRegisterMsgsRcvd

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.184.1.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-PIM-MIB::cpimInvalidRegisterMsgsRcvd.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> cpimInvalidRegisterMsgsRcvd.1

Start monitoring Cisco router or multilayer switch (PIM multicast) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the CISCO-PIM-MIB::cpimInvalidRegisterMsgsRcvd OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Cisco router or multilayer switch (PIM multicast) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Cisco router or multilayer switch (PIM multicast) 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 cpimInvalidRegisterMsgsRcvd into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports a count of the number of invalid PIM Register messages received by this device. 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.
