Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To view detailed statistics about dropped packets on interfaces of different types, run the display counters discard command. When a large number of packets are dropped, this configuration facilitates device maintenance.

Precautions

For the 5735-L, S5735S-L, S5735S-L-M, S5735-S, or S5735S-S, if multiple switches set up a stack, statistics about dropped packets on stack ports cannot be viewed.
