ospfPacketSrc
Module: OSPF-TRAP-MIB
OID (symbolic): OSPF-TRAP-MIB::ospfPacketSrc
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.14.16.1.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: IpAddress
Access: read-only
Description: The IP address of an inbound packet that cannot be identified by a neighbor instance. When the last value of a trap using this object is needed, but no traps of that type have been sent, this value pertaining to this object should be returned as 0.0.0.0.
What is ospfPacketSrc?
This holds the source IP address of an inbound OSPF packet that the router couldn't match to any known neighbor, and is used to fill in details on the associated trap when that happens. An admin uses this value to immediately identify which unexpected device is sending OSPF packets, which is useful for spotting misconfigured routers or unauthorized devices trying to participate in OSPF. For example, if a device with IP 10.0.0.55 sends OSPF hello packets on a segment where it isn't a configured neighbor, this OID would report 10.0.0.55 when the corresponding trap is generated.
