Table 219: Port Channel Statistics Fields
Field
Description
Interface
The port channel or member port (physical port) associated with the rest of the
data in the row.
Channel Name
The port channel name associated with the port channel. For a physical port, this
field identifies the name of the port channel of which the port is a member.
Type
The interface type, which is either Port Channel (logical link-aggregation group)
or Member Port (physical port).
Flap Count
The number of times the interface has gone down. The counter for a member
port is incremented when the physical port is either manually shut down by the
administrator or when its link state is down. When a port channel is
administratively shut down, the flap counter for the port channel is incremented,
but the flap counters for its member ports are not affected. When all active
member ports for a port channel are inactive (either administratively down or
link down), then the port channel flap counter is incremented.
Clear Counters (Button)
Click this button to reset the flap counters for all port channels and member
ports to 0.
