inbound: Displays inbound traffic statistics.

outbound: Displays outbound traffic statistics.

interface-type: Specifies an interface type.

interface-number: Specifies an interface number.

Usage guidelines

This command displays traffic statistics within a statistics polling interval specified by the flow-interval command.

To clear the Ethernet interface traffic statistics, use the reset counters interface command. For more information, see "reset counters interface."

If you do not specify an interface type, this command displays traffic statistics for all interfaces that have traffic counters.

If you specify an interface type but do not specify an interface number, this command displays traffic statistics for all interfaces of the specified type.

If you specify an interface type and an interface number, this command displays traffic statistics of the specified interface.
