Usage Guidelines
Entering the counter command without keywords displays the statistics as a sum.
The total number of switch ports that can possess transmit and receive counters is 4092.
When you change a Layer 3 port assigned with a counter to a Layer 2 port, the hardware counters are
cleared. This action is similar to entering the no counter command.
Examples The following example shows how to enable counters on interface VLAN 1:
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
Switch(config)# interface vlan 1
Switch(config-if)# counter ipv4
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch#
00:17:15: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
Switch# show run interface vlan 1
