What is cvIfCountInIpUnknownProtocols?

This per-interface counter tracks received packets carrying a VINES protocol identifier the router doesn't recognize. An admin cares because this flags traffic using a protocol type the router's VINES implementation can't handle, which could mean a newer or vendor-specific extension is in use on that segment. For example, introducing a device running an unsupported VINES protocol extension onto that segment would drive this counter up.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.17.1.4.2.1.27
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-VINES-MIB::cvIfCountInIpUnknownProtocols

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.17.1.4.2.1.27.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-VINES-MIB::cvIfCountInIpUnknownProtocols.1
