What is icmpInBadLen?
This counter reports the number of ICMP messages this device discarded because of an invalid ICMP body. An admin monitors it as another indicator of malformed ICMP traffic reaching the device. For example, a steady stream of these discards from a single source could suggest a misbehaving device or an attempted attack using malformed ICMP packets.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.1.3.2.2 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-ICMP-MIB::icmpInBadLen
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.1.3.2.2.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-ICMP-MIB::icmpInBadLen.1
