To display the status and packet count of each active WAN link and each local and loopback
interface, enter the Show IF Stats command. For example:
Table 1-8 describes the output of the Show If Stats command.
To display the packet count at each interface, broken down by type of packet, enter the Show If
Totals command. For example:
ascend% show if totals
