Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

You can enable the traffic statistics collection function on the VE interfaces if you want to check the network status or troubleshoot network faults.

Prerequisites

The VE interfaces have been bound to VE groups by using the ve-group command. Otherwise, the statistic enable command does not take effect.

Precautions

After you run the undo statistic enable command on a VE interface, the switch stops collecting traffic statistics on the VE interface and the collected traffic statistics will be deleted.
The switch uses ACL resources when collecting traffic statistics. If the traffic statistics collection function is enabled on too many VE interfaces, other services may fail to obtain ACL resources.
The switch can only collect statistics of unicast, multicast, and broadcast packets on VE interfaces.
On the VE interface enabled with the traffic statistics collection function, the packets such as ping packets sent from the switch cannot be counted.

Example

# Enable the traffic statistics collection function for incoming and outgoing traffic on the VE interface.
