Displaying Information About Layer 2 Interfaces
Table 4-2 lists some switch commands that you can use to display helpful information
about Layer 2 interfaces.
You can generate and view reports of utilization, traffic volume, and errors on each port
in the switch. These TopN reports can prove useful if you don’t have network manage-
ment applications that can generate statistical reports about the switch ports.
1. Enable TopN report:
(exec) collect top [number_of_ports] counters interface {type
1
| all | layer-2
| layer-3} [sort-by statistic_type
2
] [interval seconds]
TopN reports enable you to collect and analyze data for each physical port on a
switch. When Top-N reports start, they obtain statistics from the appropriate hard-
ware counters and then go into sleep mode for a user-specified interval. When the
interval ends, the reports obtain the current statistics from the same hardware coun-
ters, compare the current statistics from the earlier statistics, and store the difference.
The statistics for each port are sorted by one of the following statistic types:
