What is snmpInTooBigs?

This is a running count of incoming SNMP queries that were too large for the device to answer in one response. High counts indicate network problems or query tools asking for too much data at once. Engineers use this to troubleshoot monitoring tool timeouts.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.11.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInTooBigs

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.11.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInTooBigs.1
