Chapter 35 Configuring Layer 3 Interfaces
About Layer 3 Interfaces
• Input multicast
• Output unicast
• Output multicast
For each counter type, both the number of packets and the total number of bytes received or transmitted
are counted. You can collect these statistics uniquely for IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.
Because the total number of supported Layer 3 interfaces exceeds the number of counters supported by
hardware, all Layer 3 interfaces might not have counters. You assign counters to Layer 3 interfaces; the
default configuration for a Layer 3 interface has no counters.
You can configure collection statistics at an interface level in one of the four ways (see Table 35-1). The
maximum number of interfaces applied to the configuration depends on the collection mode.
When mixing these configured modes, the rule is as follows:
(number of v4/v6/v4v6combined interfaces) + 2*(number of v4v6separate interfaces) <= 4092
Note To enable Layer 3 interface counters, you need to enter the counter command in interface mode. For
instructions, see the “Configuring Layer 3 Interface Counters” section on page 35-11.
The hardware counters are displayed in the output of the show interface command, as shown in the
following example. Counter fields that are updated when the counter configuration is present are
highlighted.
