This is a running count of SNMP queries that failed for miscellaneous reasons not covered by other error types. It's a catch-all for device bugs or protocol violations. Engineers investigate spikes to find unexpected device behavior or firmware bugs.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.11.12 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInGenErrs
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.11.12.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInGenErrs.1
