ipsecTrapIpsecPolicyFailure

Module: IPSEC-MIB

OID (symbolic): IPSEC-MIB::ipsecTrapIpsecPolicyFailure

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.3.500.1.1.3.0.6

Node type: NOTIFICATION-TYPE

Description: IPSec packets carrying packets with invalid selectors for the specified protection suite were found.

Implementations SHOULD send one trap per protection suite (within a reasonable time period), rather than sending one trap per packet.

Examples

Send this trap to an SNMP manager — replace <manager> with the IP or hostname of your monitoring server (SNMPv2c):

snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' IPSEC-MIB::ipsecTrapIpsecPolicyFailure
snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' 1.3.6.1.3.500.1.1.3.0.6

Listen for incoming traps on the manager host (-f keeps it in the foreground, -Lo prints to stdout — useful for testing):

snmptrapd -f -Lo -c /dev/null authCommunity log public

Example snmptrapd log entry:

zoo11-linux.zoo [UDP: [192.168.30.111]:65158->[192.168.30.10]:162]:
  DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (171630214) 19 days, 20:45:02.14
  SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTrapOID.0 = OID: IPSEC-MIB::ipsecTrapIpsecPolicyFailure
