Command Modes Privileged EXEC mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines The show interfaces counters command displays the number of all of the packets arriving and includes
the number of packets that may be dropped by the interface due to the storm-control settings. To display
the total number of dropped packets, you can enter the show interfaces counters storm-control
command.
The show interfaces counters storm-control command displays the discard count and the level settings
for each mode. The discard count is a total of all three modes.
If you do not enter any keywords, all counters for all modules are displayed.
If you do not specify an interface, the information for all interfaces is displayed.
When you enter the show interfaces interface counters etherchannel command, follow these
guidelines:
• If interface specifies a physical port, the command displays the message "Etherchannel not enabled
on this interface."
• If interface is omitted, the command displays the counters for all port channels (in the system) and
for their associated physical ports.
