pimInvalidJoinPruneMsgsRcvd

Counter32

read-only

The number of invalid PIM Join/Prune messages that have

been received by this device.

A PIM Join/Prune message is invalid if either

o the Group to RP mapping specified by this 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 Join/Prune (*,G) or (S,G,rpt)

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 Join/Prune is

pimInvalidJoinPruneRp.

Invalid Join/Prune messages are discarded. This may result

in loss of multicast data affecting listeners downstream of

pimInvalidJoinPruneOrigin, for multicast data addressed to

pimInvalidJoinPruneGroup.

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.
