Accessing port and trunk group statistics

Use the CLI to view port counter summary reports, and to view detailed traffic summary for specific ports.

show interfaces

Syntax

show interfaces <PORT-LIST>

Description

Provides an overview of port activity for all ports on the switch or for the ports you specify. Displays the totals accumulated since the last boot or the last execution of the clear statistics command.

Parameters and options

<PORT-LIST>

View port activity for specific ports.

Reset port counters

When troubleshooting network issues, you can clear all counters and statistics without rebooting the switch using the clear statistics global command or using the menu.

SNMP displays the counter and statistics totals accumulated since the last reboot, and it is not affected by the clear statistics global command or the clear statistics <PORT-LIST> command. Clearing statistics initiates an SNMP trap.


[IMPORTANT: ]

IMPORTANT: Once cleared, statistics cannot be reintroduced.
