Re: [nv-l] Solaris Bad PDU Type

Where did you see this message?
In the log for snmpdx? Then the
problem is that someone sent an SNMP V1 trap (pdu type 0x'a4') to port
161, where snmpdx is listening, rather than to port 162, where trapd is
listening. If it happens frequently then you might be able to capture
it with snoop.
If in the trapd.log, then as Paul
said, perhaps it is a badly formatted trap. In the latter case, you
might be able to capture it by running trapd with the -x option and starting
the trapd trace (trapd -T from the command line toggles it). But
snoop should work here too. It's just a matter of what port you want
to snoop 161 or 162 udp.

I remember seeing this mentioned
in the forum somewhere but can't find it in the archives. Does anyone know
what this message means:
<hostname> /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx:
[ID 702911 daemon.error] bad PDU type (0xa4) received from <devicename>
Solaris 2.8
NetView v7.1.4
