Configuring a Port to the Egress Queue Drop Counters

Each port has its own set of drop counters.

To display the queue drop counters, use the show interfaces ethernet command for the port.

Configuring a Port to the Egress Queue Drop Counters

The ICX 7150 and ICX 7150-ES models have only one set of egress queue drop counters and can monitor only one port for the incrementing of the counters. By default, the device monitors the local CPU port for control packet drops. However, you can configure the device to monitor a different port for packet drops.

On the ICX 7550, ICX 7650, ICX 7850, ICX 8100, and ICX 8200 devices, each port has its own set of drop counters.

Note: This task is supported only on the ICX 7150 and ICX 7150-ES models.

Perform the following steps to configure a port that the device monitors for the egress queue drop counters.

  1. Enter global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Configure the port that the device monitors for the egress queue drop counters. 
    device(config)# qos monitor-queue-drop-counters 1/1/12
    In this step, the counters are associated to port 1/1/12.
  3. Return to privileged EXEC mode. 
    device(config)# Ctrl z
  4. Verify the configuration.
    device# show running-config | include qos
...
qos monitor-queue-drop-counters 1/1/12
...
  5. Save the configuration. 
    device# write memory

Egress queue drop counters configuration example

device# configure terminal
device(config)# qos monitor-queue-drop-counters 1/1/12
device(config)# Ctrl z
device# show running-config | include qos
device# write memory

To display the queue drop counters, use the show interfaces ethernet command for the port.
