What is pfsyncPktShorterThanHeader?

Counts pfsync packets discarded because they were shorter than the minimum required pfsync header length, indicating truncated or malformed packets. Persistent nonzero values suggest network corruption or an incompatible pfsync implementation on the peer.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.30155.1.11.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> OPENBSD-PF-MIB::pfsyncPktShorterThanHeader

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.30155.1.11.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> OPENBSD-PF-MIB::pfsyncPktShorterThanHeader.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> pfsyncPktShorterThanHeader.1
