hwPimInvalidRegisterMsgsRcvd 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.149.4.1.32

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 hwPimGroupMappingPimMode. If there is no such mapping, then the object hwPimGroupMappingPimMode is absent. The RP address contained in the invalid Register is hwPimInvalidRegisterRp. Multicast data carried by invalid Register messages is discarded. The discarded data is from a source directly connected to hwPimInvalidRegisterOrigin, and is addressed to hwPimInvalidRegisterGroup. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, for example when the device is rebooted.
