Hey all, This one is a weird one. I apologize if this is a bit off topic. As everyone is probably aware, the Cisco 6500/7600 line is unable to provide per-vlan I/O statistics on routed interfaces (ie, a show int vlan xxx has meaningless numbers in the I/O and error fields at the end). MIB

This is because in 1996 you were likely not dealing with 'Switch Routers'; today's 'routers' perform some form of flow switching/caching, meaning once the traffic enters the VLAN routed interface and an appropriate path is found it is sent down the the Layer 2 fabric. This can be circumvented
