Module: JUNIPER-JS-SCREENING-MIB

OID (symbolic): JUNIPER-JS-SCREENING-MIB::jnxJsScreenMonIpUnknownProt

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.39.1.8.1.1.1.1.16

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: According to RFC 1700, some protocol types in IP header are reserved and unassigned at this time. Precisely because these protocols are undefined, there is no way to know in advance if a particular unknown protocol is benign or malicious. Unless your network makes use of a non-standard protocol with reserved or unassigned protocol number, a cautious stance is to block such unknown elements from entering your protected network.

When the Unknown Protocol Protection SCREEN option is enabled, the security device drops packets when the protocol field contains a protocol ID number of 137 or greater by default.

This attribute records the detection of Unknown protocol IP packets.

What is jnxJsScreenMonIpUnknownProt?

This read-only counter tallies IP packets caught in this zone whose protocol field names a reserved or unassigned protocol number (137 or higher, by default), which the device treats cautiously since such traffic can't be verified as benign. An admin watching this counter climb should confirm no legitimate non-standard protocol in the zone is being mistakenly blocked.
