Viewing the Ten 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 SCE 8000 for both Rx and Tx.
However, in receive-only topologies, the counters for the Tx do not increment, as the Cisco SCE 8000
is only monitoring traffic, and not re-transmitting it
At the Cisco SCE8000# prompt, enter show interface TenGigabitEthernet 3/ baynumber /0 counters.
This displays the TenGigabitEthernet 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 SCE 8000.
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.
The following example shows the counters of the first Ten Gigabit Ethernet interface:
