This message is generated by a first-level reasonableness check of an incoming SNMP packet. The error codes have the following meanings: 1 - packet does not begin with SEQUENCE (0x30) 2 - packet sequence length too small 3 - packet sequence length improperly encoded (in one byte) 4 - first packet field not an ASN.1 INTEGER 5 - packet sequence length improperly encoded (in two bytes) 6 - first packet field not an ASN.1 INTEGER 7 - some other error was detected
Cause:
Another node on the network sent an improperly formed SNMP packet to the router.

Short Syntax:
SNMP.013 rcvd non-SNMP pkt frm hst source_address
Long Syntax:
SNMP.013 received non-SNMP packet from host source_address
Description:
This message is generated by a reasonableness check of an incoming SNMP packet. This check is done just before processing the PDU.
Cause:
Another node on the network sent an improperly formed SNMP packet to the router, and the packet slipped through the first level error checks.
Action:
Examine the remote node, specified in the error message, for errors. node, get a line trace containing the bad packet. Check the network for wild packets. This error should not be detected at all. Earlier checks should always catch this packet.

Long Syntax:
SNMP.014 length of variable to be sent out exceeds max length source_address from host ovarlen
