What is cvsVSLPortRxMyInfoAbsentPkts?

This Counter32 counts VSL packets received that were missing the local switch information field entirely. Absent switch-identity data in VSL protocol packets suggests the peer chassis is running an incompatible or partially initialized virtual-switch configuration. An admin diagnosing a virtual switch that won't fully form would watch this counter to see whether the peer is sending malformed handshake packets.
