Traffic counters configuration syntax
This section provides the syntax and configuration examples for enhanced traffic counters.
Example
To configure traffic counters for outbound traffic on a specific port, enter a command such as the
following.
Brocade(config)#transmit-counter 4 port 18 only vlan 1 prio 7 enable
The above command creates and enables traffic counter 4 on port 18. The device will count the
number of packets sent out on port 18 that are in VLAN 1 and have a priority queue of 7.
Example
To configure traffic counters for outbound traffic in a specific port region, enter a command such as
the following.
Brocade(config)#transmit-counter 1 port 1 region vlan all prio all enable
The above command creates and enables traffic counter 1 on all ports that are in the same port
region as port 1. The device will count the number of packets transmitted in this port region that
belong to any VLAN and have any assigned priority queue.
Syntax: [no] transmit-counter counter-ID port [slotnum/]port-num only | region vlan vlan-ID | all
priority priority-queue | all enable
Enter the no form of the command to remove the outbound traffic counter.
The counter-ID parameter identifies the traffic counter. You can configure up to 64 traffic counters.
Enter a number from 1 – 64.
The slotnum parameter is required on chassis devices.
The port-num parameter is the port number to which enhanced traffic counters will apply. Enter the
port number followed by only to apply the enhanced traffic counter to a specific port, or enter the
port number followed by region to apply the enhanced traffic counter to all of the ports in the port
region.
The vlan-ID parameter identifies the VLAN ID for which outbound traffic will be counted. Enter a
number from 0 – 4095 or enter all to indicate all VLANs.
The priority-queue parameter identifies the 802.1p priority queue for which traffic will be counted.
Enter a number from 0 – 7 or enter all to indicate all priority queues.
Displaying enhanced traffic counter profiles
To display the details of the traffic counters configured on your device, enter the show
transmit-counter profiles command. The following shows an example output.
Brocade#show transmit-counter profiles
