statistic, the sum of all the physical ports corresponding statistic counter is added to the link
aggregates counter.
For a detailed description of the statistics fields, see RFC 1213 for 32-bit statistics and RFC 2863
for 64-bit statistics.
When a physical port is removed from a link aggregate, each of its statistics is added to the
corresponding link aggregate statistic. When a physical port is added to a link aggregate, its
current statistics are subtracted from the link aggregates statistics.
NOTE:
Cisco's Fast EtherChannel (FEC) packets are not counted in the link aggregate statistics.
This is required because the FEC packets never traverse the link aggregate, they only traverse
the port.
Link aggregates support 64-bit statistics based on the following rules:
•
Aggregates support the 64-bit MIB (Management Information Base) if all the member links
are capable of 64-bit statistics when the aggregate is created.
•
The 64-bit statistics capability will be downgraded to 32 bits if the aggregate membership
changes to include one or more links that are not 64-bit MIB capable. After the aggregate's
64-bit MIB capability is downgraded, it will never be upgraded again for the life of the
aggregate.
To display statistics, use the
nwmgr --st -I instance -S apa
command.
Example 4-1
shows 32-bit MIB statistics returned from this command.
