Gathering VXLAN Statistics

You can collect and control certain statistics pertaining to VXLAN virtual ports and VXLAN Network Identifiers (VNIs). The following task enables detailed statistics collection for a VNI.
Note: Statistics can be gathered for a maximum of 10 VNIs at a time.

Complete the following steps to gather VXLAN statistics.

  1. Enter global configuration mode.
    device# configure terminal
  2. Name the overlay gateway and enter overlay-gateway configuration mode.
    device(config)# overlay-gateway gate1
    device(config-overlay-gw-gate1)#
    
  3. Enable VNI counters for the VXLAN overlay gateway and enable Virtual Forwarding Instance (VFI) counters for the VNIs. Also, collect statistics from Access Virtual Ports.
    device(config-overlay-gw-gate1)# vni-counters vni 30000 stats detailed

The following example enables VNI counters for a VXLAN overlay gateway. It also enables Virtual Forwarding Instance (VFI) counters for the VNIs. Statistics from Access Virtual Ports are also collected. Statistics are then displayed using the show overlay-gateway command.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# overlay-gateway gate1
device(config-overlay-gw-gate1)# vni-counters vni 30000 stats detailed

device# show overlay-gateway 1 vnid 30000 counters
