Counters
The EPSR counters record the number of EPSR messages that the CPU received and
transmitted. To display the counters, use the command:
show epsr=domain1 count
The following diagram shows the counters for a master node in a ring that has never had a

Name: domain1
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that the node has generated 1093 EPSR packets (and sent them out its primary port)
and has received the same number of EPSR packets (on its secondary port).
However, it is very common to see a few Link Down, Ring Down, and Ring Up entries in the
output of a ring that has never been in a Failed state. These messages are produced when you
first enable EPSR, if some ring nodes establish before others.
In contrast, the following diagram shows the counters for a transit node in a ring that has

Here, the transit node has received 1421 Health messages, which it will have forwarded on if
its ports were up. These messages do not show in the transmit counters because they are
transmitted by the switching hardware, not the CPU.
The node has also generated two Link-Down messages, indicating that on two separate
occasions one of its links has gone down.
