The Banyan Virtual Network System (VINES) protocol is a networking system for personal computers. This proprietary protocol was developed by Banyan and is derived from the Xerox Network Systems (XNS) protocol. Cisco's implementation of VINES was designed in conjunction with Banyan.
Cisco's implementation of Banyan VINES provides routing of VINES packets on all media. Although the software automatically determines a metric value that it uses to route updates based on the delay set for the interface, Cisco's software implementation allows you to customize the metric. Cisco's implementation also offers address resolution to respond to address requests. Media Access Control (MAC)-level echo support is also available for Ethernet, IEEE 802.2, Token Ring, and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) media. Name-to-address mapping for VINES host names is also supported, as are access lists to filter outgoing packets.

Note Not all Cisco access servers support Banyan VINES. For more information, refer to the release notes for the release you are running. |
Use the commands in this chapter to configure and monitor VINES networks. For VINES configuration information and examples, refer to the "Configuring Banyan VINES" chapter in the Cisco IOS Apollo Domain, Banyan VINES, DECnet, ISO CLNS, and XNS Configuration Guide.
To delete entries from the VINES fast-switching cache, use the clear vines cache command in EXEC mode.
clear vines cache [interface interface | neighbor address | server network | counters]
Syntax Description
interface interface (Optional) Deletes from the fast-switching cache table any entry that has one or more paths that go through the specified interface. neighbor address (Optional) Deletes from the fast-switching cache table any entry that has one or more paths via the specified neighbor router. server network (Optional) Deletes from the fast-switching cache table any entry whose network number part of the destination address matches the specified network address. The argument network can be either a 4-byte hexadecimal number or a 4-byte decimal number (if you have issued a vines decimal command). counters (Optional) Deletes the fast-switching cache and counters.

Table 16 describes the fields shown in the display.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
SYSTEM TRAFFIC: | This section displays statistics about all VINES packets handled by the Cisco IOS software. |
Rcvd: | This section displays statistics about VINES packets received by the software. |
packets | Total number of VINES packets received. |
bytes | Total bytes in all the VINES packets received. |
format errors | Number of VINES packets that had errors in the format of the VINES IP header. Currently, the only thing checked is the length field in the header. The number of packets with format errors is included in the count of total packets received (in the Rcvd: field). |
not enabled | Number of VINES packets received on an interface on which VINES was not enabled. These packets are not included when counting the total packets received (in the Rcvd: field). |
local dst | Number of packets accepted for further processing because they were addressed to the router's unicast address. |
bcast | Number of packets accepted for further processing because they were addressed to the router's broadcast address. |
forwarded | Number of packets not accepted for further processing but that were simply forwarded out another interface. |
no route | Number of packets discarded because the Cisco IOS software did not know how to reach the destination. |
zero hops | Number of packets discarded because the hop count field in the VINES IP header was zero. |
checksum errors | Number of packets accepted for further processing (the sum of the "local dest" and "bcast" fields) that were discarded because the checksum was bad. |
IP unknown | Number of packets accepted (the sum of the "local dest" and "bcast" fields) that were discarded because the VINES IP protocol type was unknown |
IPC unknown | Number of packets accepted for further processing (the sum of the "local dest" and "bcast" fields) that were discarded because the IPC port number was unknown. |
bcast forwarded | Number of broadcast packets accepted for further processing (as shown in the "bcast" field) that were forwarded because they had a nonzero hop count. (Note that the sum of the "bcast forwarded," "bcast helpered," and "dup bcast" fields will not equal the total number of broadcast packets received.) |
bcast helpered | Number of broadcast packets accepted (as shown in the "bcast" field) that were "helpered" to a Banyan server. (Note that the sum of the "bcast forwarded," "bcast helpered," and "dup bcast" fields will not equal the total number of broadcast packets received.) |
dup bcast | Number of broadcast packets accepted (as shown in the "bcast" field) that were classified as duplicates and discarded. (Note that the sum of the "bcast forwarded," "bcast helpered," and "dup bcast" fields will not equal the total number of broadcast packets received.) |
Sent: | This section displays statistics about VINES packets sent by the router. |
packets | Total number of VINES packets sent. |
bytes | Total bytes in all the VINES packets sent. |
unicast | Number of unicast packets originating at the router. |
bcast | Number of broadcast packets originating at the router. |
forwarded | Number of unicast packets that were forwarded from another interface. |
encap failed | Number of packets not sent because of an encapsulation failure. This usually happens when entries in a map for a public data network, such as X.25 or Frame Relay, are missing. |
access failed | Number of packets not sent because the destination was denied by an access list. |
down | Number of packets not sent because the interface was down. |
bcast fwd | Number of broadcast packets that were forwarded from another interface. |
not fwd (toward source) | Number of broadcast packets that were not forwarded because this interface is the interface on which the broadcast was received. |
not lan | Number of broadcast packets that were not forwarded because they were marked for LANs only and this interface is not a LAN (for example, it might be a serial interface.) |
not gt | Number of broadcast packets that were not forwarded because they were marked for high-speed interfaces only and this interface is a low-speed interface (line speed of 4800 baud or less). |
no pp charge | Number of broadcast packets that were not forwarded because they were marked to send only to networks that do not have per-packet charging and this interface is to a network that has per-packet charging. |
ARPv0: | This section displays statistics about VINES ARP packets sent and received. |
Rcvd x/x/x/x/x | Number of ARP packets received of type 0, 1, 2, 3, and other. |

Sent | Number of MAC-level echo packets sent. |
Proxy: | This section displays statistics about VINES proxies sent and received. A proxy is when a client sends a query directly to the router for which the router does not have the intelligence to respond. The Cisco IOS software then sends these queries to a Banyan server, and when it receives the response from the server, the software relays it back to the client. |
Rcvd | Number of proxy queries received. |
Sent | Number of proxy queries sent. |
IPC TRAFFIC BY PORT NUMBER: | This section displays statistics about VINES IPC packets. The information displayed in this section is particularly useful when a serverless network is connected to the router. |
Broadcast: | Number of VINES IPC messages, by destination port number, received by the router because they were addressed to the VINES IP broadcast address. |
Helpered: | Number of broadcast messages that were sent toward a Banyan server because they were received on an interface for a serverless network. |
Unicast: | Number of VINES IPC messages, by destination port number, received by the router because they were specifically addressed to the VINES IP address of the router. |
Proxied: | Number of unicast messages received that were sent to a Banyan server because they were received on a serverless interface and because the router did not know how to respond to the message. |
P_Replies: | Number of responses to a proxy query that were received from a Banyan server. |
Interface | This section displays statistics about the individual interfaces in the router. The fields in this section have the same meanings as the fields of the same name in the "SYSTEM TRAFFIC" section, except that the statistics are for the particular interface, not for the entire router. |
