Displaying statistics information for an Ethernet port
2
Real-time monitoring of traffic statistics for a specific
Ethernet port
To monitor traffic statistics for a specific Ethernet port, enter the following command at the
Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
Brocade# monitor statistics ethernet 1/2
Syntax: monitor statistics ethernet slot/port
The slot/port variable specifies the port for which you want to display statistics.
The monitor statistics command uses page mode display to show a detailed, port-specific traffic
statistics screen which is updated every poll interval. (In the Brocade NetIron XMR and Brocade
MLX series, this command also shows a second screen displaying network processor statistics.)
You can modify the display using the commands shown in the footer. (Note that when you enter
footer options they are not executed immediately but will be interpreted by the monitor engine
during the next polling cycle.) The footer commands and their effects are described in Table 19.
TABLE 19 Footer commands for monitor statistics display
t Displays the transmit/output statistics (the default) and continues the execution of the original
command.
r Displays the receive/input statistics and continues the execution of the original command.
n Continues the execution of the command for the next available Ethernet interface. If there is no next
interface available, the monitor continues to display statistics for the current interface.
p Continues the execution of the command for the previous Ethernet interface. If there is no next
interface available, the monitor continues to display statistics for the current interface.
c Clears the current delta counters and continues the execution of the original command. To clear the
aggregate counters, use the appropriate clear command.
f Freezes the execution of the command; pauses retrieval and display of the statistics. While display is
frozen, the only valid commands are s and q: you can restart or quit the monitor, but any other
command will be ignored.
s Restarts the execution of the command; resumes retrieval and display of the statistics.
F Decreases the polling interval (monitor refresh interval) by one second and continues the execution
of the original command with the new refresh interval. This option will decrease the refresh interval
until it is equal to 2 seconds, the minimum supported refresh interval value. The default value is 2
seconds. This command is not displayed in the footer of the statistics screen.
S Increases the polling interval (monitor refresh interval) by one second and continues the execution
of the original command with the new refresh interval. This option will increase the refresh interval
until it is equal to 30 seconds, the maximum supported refresh interval value. The default value is 2
seconds. This command is not displayed in the footer of the statistics screen.
q or
escape or
^c
Quits the execution of the command and returns to the command prompt.
