show ports collisions

show ports {mgmt | port_list |tag tag} collisions {no-refresh | refresh }

Description

Displays real-time collision statistics.

Syntax Description

mgmt

Specifies the management port.

port_list

Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports.

tag

Specifies an 802.1Q or 802.1ad tag value.

no-refresh

Specifies a static snapshot of data.

refresh Continuous refresh of output.

Default

Real-time statistics.

Usage Guidelines

If you do not specify a port number, range of ports, or tag value, statistics are displayed for all ports. To clear the counters, use the clear counters ports command. The default display is a constantly refreshing real-time display. If you specify the no-refresh parameter, the system displays a snapshot of the data at the time you issue the command.

The tag value may be associated with either a VMAN or a VLAN.

This status information may be useful for your technical support representative if you have a network problem.

Example

The following command displays real-time collision statistics on ports 1 and 2 on a switch:

show ports 1-2 collisions

Following is sample output from this command:

Port Collision Monitor

Link State: A-Active R-Ready, NP-Port not present, L-Loopback

The numbers 1 to 16 represent the number of collisions encountered prior to successfully transmitting the packet; this is applicable only for half-duplex links.
