ICMP attributes

Use the ICMP attribute group to monitor errors in IP datagram routing. The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is part of an IP implementation that provides feedback to the sender of IP datagrams. The Management Information Base (MIB-II) detailed in RFC1213, for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets, establishes and defines the attributes of this group.

The ICMP attributes are available for the SNMP Data Provider.


Agent Name Identifies the SNMP host name relating to a particular sample of data. A valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of 64 characters.

icmpInAddrMasks The number of ICMP Address Mask Request messages received. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpInAddrMaskReps The number of ICMP Address Mask Reply messages received. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpInDestUnreachs The number of ICMP Destination Unreachable messages received. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpInEchos The number of ICMP Echo (request) messages received. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpInEchoReps The number of ICMP Echo Reply messages received. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpInErrors The number of ICMP messages that the entity received but determined as having ICMP-specific errors (bad ICMP checksums bad length etc.). A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpInMsgs The total number of ICMP messages that the entity received. Note that this counter includes all those counted by icmpInErrors. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpInParmProbs The number of ICMP Parameter Problem messages received. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpInRedirects The number of ICMP Redirect messages received. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpInSrcQuenchs The number of ICMP Source Quench messages received. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpInTimeExcds The number of ICMP Time Exceeded messages received. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpInTimestampReps The number of ICMP Timestamp Reply messages received. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpInTimestamps The number of ICMP Timestamp (request) messages received. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpOutAddrMasks The number of ICMP Address Mask Request messages sent. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpOutAddrMaskReps The number of ICMP Address Mask Reply messages sent. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpOutDestUnreachs The number of ICMP Destination Unreachable messages sent. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpOutEchos The number of ICMP Echo (request) messages sent. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpOutEchoReps The number of ICMP Echo Reply messages sent. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpOutErrors The number of ICMP messages that this entity did not send because of problems discovered within ICMP, such as a lack of buffers. This value should not include errors discovered outside the ICMP layer, such as the inability of IP to route the resultant datagram. Some implementations have no types of error which contribute to this counter's value. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpOutMsgs The total number of ICMP messages that this entity attempted to send. Note that this counter includes all those counted by icmpOutErrors. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpOutParmProbs The number of ICMP Parameter Problem messages sent. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpOutRedirects The number of ICMP Redirect messages sent. For a host this object will always be zero since hosts do not send redirects. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpOutSrcQuenchs The number of ICMP Source Quench messages sent. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpOutTimeExcds The number of ICMP Time Exceeded messages sent. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpOutTimestampReps The number of ICMP Timestamp Reply messages sent. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

icmpOutTimestamps The number of ICMP Timestamp (request) messages sent. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.
