What is dnsServCounterReqUnparses?

This object counts DNS requests received by the server that contained malformed or unparseable protocol data. A DNS administrator monitors this counter to detect clients sending invalid queries or network corruption affecting DNS traffic. Increasing values suggest client software issues or network problems that need investigation.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.2.11
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DNS-SERVER-MIB::dnsServCounterReqUnparses

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.2.11.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DNS-SERVER-MIB::dnsServCounterReqUnparses.1

SNMPv3 example:

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