pimInvalidRegisterMsgsRcvd

Counter32

read-only

The number of invalid PIM Register messages that have been

received by this device.

A PIM Register message is invalid if either

o the destination address of the Register message does not

match the Group to RP mapping on this device, or

o this device believes the group address to be within an

SSM address range, but this Register implies ASM usage.

These conditions can occur transiently while RP mapping

changes propagate through the network. If this counter is

incremented repeatedly over several minutes, then there is a

persisting configuration error that requires correction.

The active Group to RP mapping on this device is specified

by the object pimGroupMappingPimMode. If there is no such

mapping, then the object pimGroupMappingPimMode is absent.

The RP address contained in the invalid Register is

pimInvalidRegisterRp.

Multicast data carried by invalid Register messages is

discarded. The discarded data is from a source directly

connected to pimInvalidRegisterOrigin, and is addressed to

pimInvalidRegisterGroup.

Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at

re-initialization of the management system, for example,

when the device is rebooted.

This object is implemented as defined in the corresponding MIB files.
