copy compressed-cong
Copy one le, after optimizing and reducing the size of the conguration le, to another location. Dell EMC Networking OS supports IPv4
and IPv6 addressing for FTP, TFTP, and SCP (in the hostip eld).
Discard Counters
The Dell Networking OS discard counters counts the packets or frames which are legitimate but dropped due to lack of operation of the
higher layer protocol. The discard counters do not count the errors such as runts, giants, throttles, CRC, overrun, underrun, symbol error,
etc.
For example, when an OSPF packet is received on a switch which has OSPF disabled, the packet gets dropped due to lter processor (FP)
entry and the discard counter gets incremented. However, the packets that are forwarded to the CPU are dropped at the interface level
and a copy of the packet is forwarded to the CPU. Therefore, the discard counter is increased when a packet matches an FP entry,
irrespective of the action dened in the FP entry to avoid pipeline processing in the hardware.

Points to remember:
1 Following are some of the major protocols that can be dropped based on the FP rule entry, if those protocols are not congured or
blocked. All these drops are accounted as discard counters.
• LLDP BPDU redirects
• ARP
• STP/RSTP BPDU redirects
• BGP
• OSPF
• ECMP and LAG show cases
• VLT LLDP PDUs
• VLT DOT1x PDUs
• VLT PE ECP PDUs
• VLT IPM1 sync frames
• VLT ARP sync frames
• VLT TTL1 packets tunneled
