What is alarmUnknownMessageReceived?

This Integer32 counter increments whenever the device receives a message it does not recognize, and it is the counter backing trap 26. Admins monitor it to detect protocol mismatches, unsupported peer software versions, or unexpected traffic reaching a management or signaling interface. For example, a peer running a newer protocol version that sends message types this device's firmware doesn't understand would cause this counter to climb.
