udpNoPorts

Module: UDP-MIB

OID (symbolic): UDP-MIB::udpNoPorts

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.7.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The total number of received UDP datagrams for which there was no application at the destination port.

Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by discontinuities in the value of sysUpTime.

What is udpNoPorts?

This counter tracks the total number of UDP datagrams received by a system for which no application was listening on the destination port. These are essentially discarded packets because the target port had no active service bound to receive them. An operator monitors this metric to detect if legitimate services are missing or misconfigured, or if the system is receiving port scans or unwanted traffic.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.7.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> UDP-MIB::udpNoPorts

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.7.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> UDP-MIB::udpNoPorts.1
