What is cvsVSLPortRxBadSwitchIdPkts?

This Counter32 counts VSL packets received that carried a bad switch ID. A bad switch ID in a VSL packet suggests the peer chassis's virtual-switch numbering is misconfigured or that traffic from an unexpected third switch is leaking onto the link. An engineer setting up a new virtual switch domain would check this counter to confirm both chassis agree on their assigned switch IDs before trusting the VSL.
