statistic mode

Function

The statistic mode command switches the statistics collection mode on an interface.

The undo statistic mode command restores the default setting.

By default, the device collects packet statistics for an interface based on packets' destination MAC addresses.

Format

statistic mode { forward | mac }

undo statistic mode

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
forward	Enables the device to collect packet statistics for an interface based on packets' forwarding modes. That is, statistics for IPv4 and IPv6 packets are collected separately.	-
mac	Enables the interface to collect statistics based on the destination MAC address of packets.	-

Parameter

Description

Value

forward

Enables the device to collect packet statistics for an interface based on packets' forwarding modes. That is, statistics for IPv4 and IPv6 packets are collected separately.

mac

Enables the interface to collect statistics based on the destination MAC address of packets.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

By default, the device collects packet statistics for an interface based on packets' destination MAC addresses. If you want to modify the packet statistics collection mode, run the statistic mode command. For example, if you want to distinguish between IPv4 and IPv6 packets on an interface, specify the forward parameter in the statistic mode command so that the device will collect packet statistics based on packets' forwarding modes.

In MAC mode, statistics are collected based on the destination MAC address of Layer 2 packets. If an interface forwards only IPv4 packets, statistics are collected in MAC mode, and no configuration file is generated.
In forward mode, statistics are collected based on the destination IP address of Layer 3 packets. If an interface needs to forward both IPv4 and IPv6 packets, statistics are collected in forward mode, and a configuration file is generated.

Configuration Impact

If a device is enabled to collect packet statistics for an interface based on the packets' forwarding mode, statistics about IPv4 unicast and IPv6 unicast packets are added in the command output after the display interface command is run.

Example

# Enable the device to collect packet statistics for GE0/1/0 based on packets' forwarding modes.
