Authentication Failure - Informational Event

Brian Wright_1 — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 08:30:03 GMT

I am receiving this event from all my monitored servers.. What does it mean? How do I correct?

An authenticationFailure trap signifies that the SNMPv2 entity, acting in an agent role, has received a protocol message that is not properly authenticated. While all implementations of the SNMPv2 must be capable of generating this trap, the snmpEnableAuthenTraps object indicates whether this trap will be generated.

No I have not, should I? How would I know?

I am running SIM 5.0 SP5, and some of my servers have SSP 7.60, most have 7.51 right now.
