Description: Counts the number of SMP packets that have been received at this port that have invalid P_Keys.

What is ibSmaPortPKeyViolations?

A latching counter of SMP packets received on this port with an invalid Partition Key; a climbing count can indicate a host trying to reach a partition it isn't a member of. The counter resets to 0 after saturating.
