eriRouterMaliciousPktsCounter

Module: ERICSSON-ROUTER-SYS-SECURITY-MIB

OID (symbolic): ERICSSON-ROUTER-SYS-SECURITY-MIB::eriRouterMaliciousPktsCounter

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.193.218.5.54.1.2.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: A count of all malicious pkts. This includes but is not limited to malformed IP packets, malformed layer 4 IP, packets filtered by ACLs for specific faults, IP packets identified as attempting to spoof a system, and IP packets which failed reassembly.

What is eriRouterMaliciousPktsCounter?

This Counter64 tallies all malicious packets seen by the router, including malformed IP or layer-4 packets, packets dropped by ACLs for specific faults, packets identified as address-spoofing attempts, and packets that failed reassembly. An admin polls this counter to gauge the overall volume of attack or malformed traffic the router has filtered since it last reset. For example, a steadily climbing count alongside rising CPU load could point to an active spoofing or fragmentation-based attack against the router.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an Ericsson router or metro Ethernet platform 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 eriRouterMaliciousPktsCounter into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports a count of all malicious pkts. This includes but is not limited to malformed IP packets, malformed layer 4 IP, packets filtered by ACLs for specific faults, IP packets identified as attempting to spoof a system, and IP packets which failed reassembly. 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 Counter64-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.
