Viewing The Gigabit Ethernet Counters - Cisco SCE8000 GBE Installation And Configuration Manual

Starting the Cisco SCE8000 GBE Platform
Viewing the User Log Counters
View the user log for errors that occurred during the installation process.
At the SCE# prompt, type show logger device user-file-log counters and press Enter.
Step 1
Examples for Viewing the User Log Counters
The following example shows the current User-File-Log device counters.
SCE#show logger device user-file-log counters
Logger device User-File-Log counters:
Total info messages: 1
Total warning messages: 0
Total error messages: 0
Total fatal messages: 0
If there are "Total error messages" or "Total fatal messages", use the show logger device user-file-log
command to display details about the errors.
Viewing the Gigabit Ethernet Port Status
Step 1 At the SCE# prompt, type show interface GigabitEthernet 3/ baynumber /port-number.
This displays the port link status.
The following example displays a system response.
SCE#show interface GigabitEthernet 3/1/0
Actual Status:
Link is on
Bandwidth: 10000000Kbps
Burst-size: 500000bytes

Viewing the Gigabit Ethernet Counters

In an inline topology, you can monitor traffic via the platform counters for both the Rx and Tx
connections. The counters increase as packets flow through the Cisco SCE8000 GBE for both Rx and
Tx.
However, in receive-only topologies, the counters for the Tx do not increment, as the SCE8000 GBE is
only monitoring traffic, and not re-transmitting it
At the SCE# prompt, type show interface GigabitEthernet 3/ baynumber /port-number counters.
Step 1
This displays the GigabitEthernet counters. This command enables you to verify that there is traffic on
the line. You can see that the counters increase, together with real-time packet flow through the Cisco
SCE8000 GBE .
Remember, in bump-in-the-wire topology, both the Rx and Tx counters apply as traffic monitors. For
receive-only topologies, using an external splitter, only the Rx counters apply.
