What is snmpInPkts?
This is a running count of all SNMP request messages received by the device from any source. Network engineers use it to measure SNMP traffic load and detect if management polling has increased or unusual activity is occurring. A sudden jump in this counter might indicate a new monitoring tool was added or someone is scanning your device.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.11.1 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInPkts
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.11.1.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInPkts.1
