show controllers ethernet-controller
Expressions are case sensitive. For example, if you enter | exclude output, the lines that contain output
do not appear, but the lines that contain Output appear.
Examples This is an example of output from the show controllers ethernet-controller command on a non-LRE
switch. For this example, Table 2-9 describes the Transmit fields, Table 2-10 describes the Receive
fields, and Table 2-11 describes the Transmit and Receive fields.

Table 2-9 Transmit Field Descriptions
Field Description
Bytes The total number of bytes sent on an interface.
Frames The total number of frames sent on an interface.
Multicast frames The total number of frames sent to multicast addresses.
Broadcast frames The total number of frames sent to broadcast addresses.
Pause frames The number of pause frames sent on an interface.
Single defer frames The number of frames for which the first transmission attempt on an interface is not successful. This
value excludes frames in collisions.
Multiple defer frames The number of frames that are not sent after the time exceeds 2*maximum-packet time.
1 collision frames The number of frames that are successfully sent on an interface after one collision occurs.
2-15 collisions The number of frames that are successfully sent on an interface after more than one collision occurs.
Late collisions After a frame is sent, the number of times that a collision is detected on an interface later than 512
bit times.
