Configuring Traffic Rules and Counters
Traffic Counters
Traffic counters count the traffic as specified by the traffic rules. The maximum number of counters is
32. Each counter is given a name when it is defined, which is then used when referring to the counter.
A traffic counter can be configured in one of two ways:
•
Count packets
— the counter is incremented by 1 for each packet it counts.
•
Count bytes
— the counter is incremented by the number of bytes in the packet for each packet it
counts.
Configuring Traffic Counters
A traffic counter must be created before it can be referenced in a traffic rule. Use the following
commands to create and delete traffic counters.
