Keyword Definition
unknown protocol... No receiver for these packets. Counts those packets whose protocol type 
field is not recognized by FTOS.
not a gateway... Packets can not be routed; host/network is unreachable.
security failures... Counts the number of received unicast/multicast packets that could not be 
forwarded due to:
• route not found for unicast/multicast; ingress interfaces do not belong to 
the destination multicast group
• destination IP address belongs to reserved prefixes; host/network 
unreachable
bad options... Unrecognized IP option on a received packet.
Frags: IP fragments received.
