What is cvIfCountInIpcUnknownPorts?

This per-interface counter tracks VINES IPC packets received that were addressed to a port number the router doesn't recognize as a known service. An admin cares because this can reveal an application trying to reach a VINES service that either isn't running on this router or uses an unsupported port. For example, a client attempting to reach a decommissioned VINES service port would generate traffic counted here instead of being delivered.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.17.1.4.2.1.28
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-VINES-MIB::cvIfCountInIpcUnknownPorts

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.17.1.4.2.1.28.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-VINES-MIB::cvIfCountInIpcUnknownPorts.1
