All,
I have a question about monitoring of traffic volumes in a Cisco based metro Ethernet environment. I have a mixture of local switching and EoMPLS VLAN services configured on the same pair of customer access ports. As you would expect, the EoMPLS PW's are switched across the wide area and the local switching is simply between VLAN's configured on both ports in the pair. I can easily see the EoMPLS statistics in terms of packets sent and received by issuing the "show mpls l2transport vc x detail" command, however I simply cannot see how to obtain the same level of detail with respect to the local switched services. For example, the EoMPLS statistics are as follows: nsn1#sho mpls l2transport vc 101 detail | inc totals packet totals: receive 589562735, send 589488418 byte totals: receive 75464030080, send 2440073472 However, for a local switched service, the best I can obtain is: nsn1#sho vlan counters * Multicast counters include broadcast packets Vlan Id : 100 L2 Unicast Packets : 83244 L2 Unicast Octets : 10322256 L3 Input Unicast Packets : 0 L3 Input Unicast Octets : 0 L3 Output Unicast Packets : 0 L3 Output Unicast Octets : 0 L3 Output Multicast Packets : 0 L3 Output Multicast Octets : 0 L3 Input Multicast Packets : 0 L3 Input Multicast Octets : 0 L2 Multicast Packets : 0 L2 Multicast Octets : 0 In which case, I see the general VLAN utilisation in terms of packets and octets, but cannot determine the direction, source, destination, ingress, egress port etc...I have tried querying the SMON mib for the device using SNMP but this demonstrates the same information. I will look into what I can glean using netflow, but this seems like overkill when all I really want are some simple L2 switching statistics via CLI/SNMP. The node in question is a Cisco ME6524; however I think that this is a general problem in IOS. Does anyone have any ideas/recommendations? Many thanks James. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
