Command History
Usage Guidelines Use this command on the Route Processor (RP).
Note When fast switching is configured on the outbound interface, and RSP optimum, RSP flow, and VIP DFS
switching modes are all specified on the incoming interface, the interface on which RSP optimum, RSP
flow, and VIP DFS switching modes is not enabled can still show packets switched out via those
switching paths when packets are received from other interfaces with RSP optimum, RSP flow, and VIP
DES switching modes enabled.
Examples The following sample output is from Cisco IOS Release 12.3(14)YM2 and shows counters for both
Multi-Processor Forwarding (MPF) switched packets on native Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and for
non-MPF Fast Ethernet interfaces:
