authenticationFailure

Module: SNMP-SMIv1-MIB

OID (symbolic): SNMP-SMIv1-MIB::authenticationFailure

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.11.0.4

Node type: NOTIFICATION-TYPE

Description: An authenticationFailure trap signifies that the sending protocol entity is the addressee of a protocol message that is not properly authenticated. While implementations of the SNMP must be capable of generating this trap, they must also be capable of suppressing the emission of such traps via an implementation- specific mechanism.

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> '' SNMP-SMIv1-MIB::authenticationFailure
snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' 1.3.6.1.2.1.11.0.4

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]:51651->[192.168.30.10]:162]:
  DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (203429827) 23 days, 13:04:58.27
