ibSmaPortPKeyViolations
Module: IB-SMA-MIB
OID (symbolic): IB-SMA-MIB::ibSmaPortPKeyViolations
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.3.117.3.1.4.35
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: Counts the number of SMP packets that have been received at this port that have invalid P_Keys. This object is a latching gauge, in that whenever the maximum gauge value is encountered (i.e., the count reaches all 1's), the SMA must reset the gauge to 0, before this object begins incrementing its count again.
What is ibSmaPortPKeyViolations?
Counts SMP packets received at this port with an invalid P_Key (partition key); a rising count points to a node trying to communicate outside its assigned partition, worth investigating as a possible misconfiguration or policy violation.
