Abstract

An example managed network device includes a control unit and a storage medium that stores a file that includes a variable value. The control unit provides an execution environment for a simple network management protocol (SNMP) engine operable by the control unit to establish, based on a set of authentication parameters, secure SNMP communication with a network management system, determine whether the file is corrupted, determine whether the variable value stored in the file is readable, determine whether the variable value is greater than or equal to a maximum value, and, responsive to determining that the file is corrupted, that the variable value is not readable, or that the variable value is greater than or equal to the maximum value: re-initialize the variable value, notify a network management system, and maintain the secure simple networking management protocol communication with network management system using the set of authentication parameters.
