● table-dump: Displays the tables from the bShell.
linecard slot-id Enter the linecard slot-id parameters with a command option to display
hardware statistics from the specified line-card ports. The range of line-card slot
IDs is from 0 to 2. The command options are:
● buffer total-buffer statistics: Displays the total number of buffers
allocated for a specified line card.
● buffer unit unit-num port statistics: Displays the number of
buffers allocated for a specified port-pipe. The range of port-pipe unit numbers
is 0 to 3.
● buffer unit unit-num total-buffer statistics: Displays the
number of buffers allocated for a specified port-pipe. The range of port-pipe
unit numbers is 0 to 3.
● cpu data-plane statistics: Displays data-plane statistics, including the
HiGig port statistics with input/output counters to which the stacking module is
connected.
● cpu i2c statistics: Displays active i2c-address statistics.
● cpu management statistics: Displays management port counters for a
specified line card.
● cpu sata-interface statistics: Displays sata-interface error counter
statistics.
● drops unit unit-num {port {port-num | range}: Displays the
number of dropped packets on the ports of a specified port pipe on a line card.
The range of port-pipe unit numbers is 0 to 3.
● user-port {user-port-num | port-range}: Displays statistics on a
specified line-card port or range of ports.
● unit unit-num {counters | details | ipmc-replication |
port-stats | register | table-dump}: Displays statistics on a
specified line-card port pipe unit. The range of port-pipe unit numbers is 0 to 3.
The command options are:
○ counters: Displays the traffic counters for a specified port pipe.
○ details: Displays more detailed hardware information for a specified port
pipe.
○ ipmc-replication: Displays the multicast IPMC replication table from
the bShell.
○ port-stats: Displays the internal statistics for each port pipe (unit) on a
per-port basis.
○ register: Displays the line-card internal registers for each port pipe.
○ table-dump: Displays the tables from the bShell.
● bp-link-map: Displays the backplane links (between leaf/port and spine/
fabric) on a specified line card.
● bp-link-state: Displays the status of the backplane links on a specified line
card.
● hg-stats unit unit-num port port-num: Displays input and output
statistics for a HiGig port on a specified line card.
