Configuring the MAC Utilization Load Interval
Understanding How the MAC Utilization Load Interval Works
The
show mac utilization
command displays the packet rate, bit rate, and octet rate per port, per module,
and per VLAN, based on the load interval. You can set the load interval to either 30 or 300 seconds. You
can also clear the MAC utilization counters on a port, range of ports, or for all ports in a module.
Setting the MAC Utilization Load Interval
You can set the MAC utilization load interval to 30 or 300 seconds. The default is 300 seconds.
To set the MAC utilization load interval, perform this task in enabled mode:
This example shows how to set the MAC utilization load interval to 30 seconds:
Console> (enable)
set mac utilization load-interval 30
Load interval set to 30 seconds.
Displaying MAC Utilization Statistics
To display MAC utilization statistics, perform this task in enabled mode:
This example shows how to display the MAC utilization statistics globally:
Console> (enable)
show mac utilization
30 seconds input/output port rates:
