mscVrNsDepthExceeded
Module: Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-NetSentryMIB
OID (symbolic): Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-NetSentryMIB::mscVrNsDepthExceeded
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.100.4.101.1.5
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: This attribute counts the total number of times a NetSentry filter was executed which referenced too many layers of indirect filters. If this count is non-zero, the filter definitions the unit is using are incorrect, and some operator action to track down the erroneous filter definitions is advised. Filters will not be behaving correctly if this counter is increasing, and security could be compromised. This count should always be zero, and it will wrap around to zero should it ever exceed its maximum value of 4294967295.
What is mscVrNsDepthExceeded?
Counts how many times a NetSentry filter chain referenced too many layers of indirect filters; per the MIB this should always read zero, and any non-zero value means the filter definitions are broken and security could be compromised. An admin seeing this counter increment should immediately review the filter configuration for a runaway or circular indirect-filter reference.
