What is cvIfCountInIcpIllegalMessages?

This per-interface counter tracks ICP messages received that failed to conform to the expected ICP message format. An admin cares because these indicate malformed control-plane traffic on that link, potentially from an incompatible or faulty device. For example, a firmware bug on a peer device generating malformed ICP messages would show up as a rising count here.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.17.1.4.2.1.16
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-VINES-MIB::cvIfCountInIcpIllegalMessages

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.17.1.4.2.1.16.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-VINES-MIB::cvIfCountInIcpIllegalMessages.1
