Commands
show interfaces — displays information on physical and virtual interfaces.
rate-interval (Configuration Mode)
Configure the traffic sampling interval for all physical and logical port-channel interfaces globally. The support to configure
rate-interval globally enables you to modify the default interval rate for all physical and logical interfaces at one time.
Syntax
rate-interval seconds
Use the no rate-interval command to remove the sampling interval configuration.
Parameters
seconds Enter the number of seconds for which to collect traffic data. The range is from 5
to 299 seconds.
NOTE: Because polling occurs every 15 seconds, the number of seconds
designated here round to the multiple of 15 seconds lower than the entered
value. For example, if 44 seconds is designated, it rounds to 30; 45 to 59
seconds rounds to 45. If you configure this value to be less than 5, then the
entire buffer is cleared; the show int stats command shows the rate
information to be 0 as the polling interval is less than 5.
Defaults 299 seconds
