show interface counters (indiscard-stats|outdiscard-stats)

Use this command to display the ingress and egress traffic discard reason counters on the interface.

You can only display statistics for data ports and CPU ports, not for the out-of-band management (OOB) management port or logical interfaces.

Command Syntax

Copy
show interface (IFNAME|) counters (indiscard-stats|outdiscard-stats)
show interface cpu counters (indiscard-stats|outdiscard-stats)

Parameters

IFNAME

Physical Interface name.

indiscard-stats

Discard reasons for ingress dropped packets.

outdiscard-stats

Discard reasons for egress dropped packets.

cpu

CPU Interface.

Default

None

Command Mode

Execution mode and Privileged execution mode

Applicability

This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.

indiscard statistic output details

Statistic

Description

STP Discards

Packets received when the ingress interface is not in STP forwarding state.

Port Block Drops

Packets discarded on an ingress interface where port blocking is configured.

VLAN Discards

VLAN tagged packets received on a port which is not a member of the VLAN or untagged packets received on a trunk port.

ACL/QoS Drops

Incoming packets match a field processing entry with a drop or color drop action, such as:

1. User-configured ACL that denies traffic

2. Service policy with a police action that drops the traffic received at a rate higher than the configured limit

PolicyClosed A set of rules determining which actions are permitted or denied for a specific user role. Discards

Device policies violated, such as a storm control rate violation, source or destination discards when L2 tagged traffic received on router interface.

EGR (Egress) Port Unavail

No output port can be determined for this packet. This counter increments along with other counter types in this table because it is a “catchall” for multiple types of discards as shown below:

1. VLAN check failed

2. MTU check failed

3. ACL/QoS drops

4. Policy discards

5. Source MAC is null

6. Destination IP/source IP address is null

7. Source MAC address and destination MAC address are the same

8. Source MAC is configured as static on other interface

9. Forwarding lookup failure

IBP Drops

Ingress Back Pressure (ingress congestion) when the ingress packet buffer is full for an interface.

Total Discards

Total number of ingress dropped packets.

Here is the explanation of the show command output fields.

Table 94.

outdiscard statistics

Statistics

Description

Port Block Drops

Packets discarded on an egress interface where port blocking is configured.

VLAN Discards

Packets discarded because an invalid VLAN tag is encountered at an egress interface.

TTL Discards

Packets discarded because the Time-To Live (TTL) of the outgoing packet has passed.

Unknown Discards

Packets discarded for other possible reasons like ACL drop in egress or a policer drop in egress. Discards caused by congestion at queues and drops at queues are not counted under unknown discards.

Unicast Queue Drops

Packets dropped in the unicast queues because of congestion.

Multicast Queue Drops

Packets dropped in the multicast queues because of congestion.

Total Discards

Total number of egress dropped packets.
