VPLS SAP statistics commands

counter-mode

Syntax

counter-mode {in-out-profile-count | forward-drop-count}

Context

config>service>vpls>sap>statistics>ingress

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document

Description

This command configures the counter mode for the counters associated with SAP ingress meters (also known as policers). A pair of counters is available with each meter. These counters count different events based on the counter-mode value.

Note: The counter-mode command can be changed if an accounting policy is associated with a SAP. If the counter-mode is changed, the counters associated with the meter are reset and the counts are cleared. If an accounting policy is in use when the counter-mode is changed, a new record is written into the current accounting file.

Execute the following sequence of commands on the specified SAP to ensure the correct statistics are collected when the counter-mode is changed:

Execute the config service vpls sap no collect-stats command to disable writing of accounting records for the SAP.
Change the counter-mode to the desired option by executing the config service vpls sap counter-mode {in-out-profile-count | forward-drop-count} command
Execute the config service vpls sap collect-stats command to enable writing of accounting records for the SAP.

Default

in-out-profile-count

Parameters

forward-drop-count: Keyword to specify that one counter counts the forwarded packets and octets received on ingress of a SAP and another counts the dropped packets. The forwarded count is the sum of in-profile and out-of-profile packets and octets received on SAP ingress. The dropped count is the count of packets and octets dropped by the policer. A packet is determined to be in-profile or out-of-profile based on the meter rate parameters configured. A packet is dropped by the policer if it exceeds the configured PIR rate. The in-profile count and out-of-profile count is not individually available when operating in this mode.

in-out-profile-count: Keyword to specify that one counter counts the total in-profile packets and octets received on ingress of a SAP and another counts the total out-of-profile packets and octets received on ingress of a SAP. A packet is determined to be in-profile or out-of-profile based on the meter rate parameters configured. A packet is dropped by the policer if it exceeds the configured PIR rate. Dropped counts are not maintained in hardware when this mode is used. It is obtained by subtracting the sum of in-profile count and out-of-profile count from the total SAP ingress received count and displayed.

drop-count-extra-vlan-tag-pkts

Syntax

[no] drop-count-extra-vlan-tag-pkts

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document

Description

This command associates a counter that enables the counting of extra VLAN-tag dropped packets for the SAP, spoke-SDP, or mesh SDP. A limited number of such counters are available for use.

The no form of this command removes the associated counter.
