(From 6211.6)
Is IfUnknownProtos a valid counter in and of itself? I have a customer
that is using Xyplex 6220 Routers and these are cropping up on a few units.
Sometimes the counter can increment at 40 per minute. DECmcc Help defines this
as the number of packets discarded do to an unknown or unsupported protocol.
The Xyplex unit itself has counters as viewed when connected to the router
called IP Unknown Protocols. This counter does not increment, yet SNMP
IfUnknownProtos increments quite alot.
Note 6211 discusses the new PA not using this counter, but is it a valid
counter? The customer is very concerned that there may be protocols running
around on his WAN that the Xyplex routers don't understand.

Kevin, I looked through our .MS files and could only find ATTRIBUTE ifInUnknownProtos. Hence my question: is this an attribute private to Xyplex. To find out which attributes are treated by PA and which aren't, use the dictionary to find out if they are in the STATISTICS partition. PA only treats the STATISTICS partitions and needs to be updated consistently with them. You can also browse the .MS files on DSSR::MCCMSL:* Dirk | |||||
