snmpInBadCommunityNames

Counter32

read-only

The total number of community-based SNMP messages (for

example, SNMPv1) delivered to the SNMP entity which

used an SNMP community name not known to said entity.

Also, implementations which authenticate community-based

SNMP messages using check(s) in addition to matching

the community name (for example, by also checking

whether the message originated from a transport address

allowed to use a specified community name) MAY include

in this value the number of messages which failed the

additional check(s). It is strongly RECOMMENDED that

the documentation for any security model which is used

to authenticate community-based SNMP messages specify

the precise conditions that contribute to this value.

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