OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.11.30
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Description:
Indicates whether the SNMP entity is permitted to generate authenticationFailure traps. The value of this object overrides any configuration information; as such, it provides a means whereby all authenticationFailure traps may be disabled.
Note that it is strongly recommended that this object be stored in non-volatile memory so that it remains constant across re-initializations of the network management system.
What is snmpEnableAuthenTraps?
This is a flag (enabled or disabled) that operators can set to control whether the device sends alerts when SNMP authentication fails. Network engineers use it to control alert flooding if they expect failed authentication attempts, or to enable alerts when security is critical. Setting this to disabled prevents the device from spamming syslog during a security incident.
