Extended VLAN counters for 8x10G modules

Extended VLAN counters for 8x10G modules
The NI-MLX-10x8G module supports VLAN counters on the ingress and egress ports. The
NI-MLX-10x8G module supports packet and byte accounting for 32K counters on both inbound and
outbound traffic on a per-VLAN, per-port, per-priority basis. The 8x10G module supports 64 bit
VLAN counters for both packet and byte accounting.
To support extended VLAN accounting, the following modes allow you to configure packet and byte
accounting on a 8x10G module.
Priority mode - This mode allows accounting to be performed on a per VLAN, per port, per-priority
basis. Priority mode is configured on per-module basis. By default, the per-priority accounting mode
is disabled, or in other words, accounting is done per VLAN, per port.
Switched or routed separate mode - This mode allows you to specify whether the switched packet
and routed packets should be counted separately or not. This mode is configured globally, and by
default, switched packets and routed packets are counted together.
Refer to Table 30 on the number of unique port, VLAN’s supported per PPCR based on the
configuration of “Priority mode” and “Switched or routed separate mode”..
Configuring extended VLAN counters
The Gen-2 modules supports the following global configuration commands.
Name Name of the port-based VLAN. [None] appears if a name has not been
assigned.
Priority Level Priority level assigned to the port-based VLAN.
L2 protocols Layer 2 control protocol configured on the VLAN.
Untagged or Tagged Ports ID of the untagged or tagged ports that are members of the VLAN.
(protocol-based VLANs) If protocol based VLANs are configured, their type and name appear after
the list of ports.
Bytes received Displays the number of received bytes across all ports in the specified
VLAN.
