Description:
The total number of Confirmed Class PDUs (such as GetRequest-PDUs, GetNextRequest-PDUs, GetBulkRequest-PDUs, SetRequest-PDUs, and InformRequest-PDUs) delivered to the SNMP entity which were silently dropped because the transmission of the (possibly translated) message to a proxy target failed in a manner (other than a time-out) such that no Response Class PDU (such as a Response-PDU) could be returned.
What is snmpProxyDrops?
This is a running count of SNMP requests the device tried to forward to another device (as a proxy) but failed to deliver, so no response could be sent back. Network engineers use it to debug proxy chains when management requests are not reaching their intended targets. A high counter indicates problems forwarding requests through intermediate SNMP proxies.
