Information About Ports
Information About Interface Counters
Port counters are used to identify synchronization problems. Counters can show a significant disparity
between received and transmitted frames. To display interface counters, use the following command:
show interface ethernet slot number counters
See
Values stored in counters can be meaningless for a port that has been active for an extended period.
Clearing the counters provides a better idea of the actual link behavior at the present time. Create a
baseline first by clearing the counters.
clear counters interface ethernet slot-number
Information About Link Flapping
When a port continually goes up and down, it is said to be flapping, or link flapping. When a port is
flapping, it cycles through the following states, in this order, and then starts over again:
1.
2.
3.
To troubleshoot link flapping, see the
Information About Port Security
The port security feature allows you to secure a port by limiting and identifying the MAC addresses that
can access the port. Secure MAC addresses can be manually configured or dynamically learned.
For detailed information about port security, see the Cisco Nexus 1000V Security Configuration Guide.
