Displaying OpenFlow Meters

A meter measures the rate of packets assigned to it and enables controlling the rate of those packets.
The hardware resources are shared between OpenFlow and other features, so these resources are allocated on first-come, first-served basis.
  1. Enter the show openflow meters command.

    The following example output shows a single meter band. 

    device(config)# show openflow meters 1
Meter id: 1

  Transaction id:        1437
  Meter Flags:            KBPS BURST STATS
  Flow Count:            0
  Number of  bands:      1
  In packet count:       -NA- 
  In byte count:         0

  Band Type:    DROP

    Rate:                         750000
    Burst size:                   1500          kb
    In packet band count:         -NA- 
    In byte band count:           0

The following example output shows information for two meter bands. 

device(config)# show openflow meters 2
Meter id: 2

  Transaction id:        1438
  Meter Flags:            KBPS BURST STATS
  Flow Count:            0
  Number of  bands:      2
  In packet count:       -NA- 
  In byte count:         0

  Band Type:    DSCP-REMARK

    Rate:                         750000
    Burst size:                   1500          kb
    Prec level:                   1
    In packet band count:         -NA- 
    In byte band count:           0 


  Band Type:    DROP

    Rate:                         1000000
    Burst size:                   2000          kb
    In packet band count:         -NA- 
    In byte band count:           0
