Setting the Baseline for VPLS Statistics

You can use the following baseline commands to set a statistics baseline for a VPLS instance, for a network interface associated with a VPLS instance, or for the VPLS virtual core interface associated with a VPLS instance. The router implements the baseline by reading and storing the statistics at the time the baseline is set and then subtracting this baseline whenever baseline-relative statistics are retrieved.

Use the delta keyword with the show bridge commands display baselined statistics.

Tasks to set a baseline for VPLS statistics are:

• Setting a Baseline for a VPLS Instance
• Setting a Baseline for a Network Interface associated with a VPLS Instance
• Setting a Baseline for the VPLS Virtual Core Interface associated with a VPLS Instance

Setting a Baseline for a VPLS Instance

To set a statistics baseline for a VPLS instance:

• Issue the baseline bridge command.
  host1#baseline bridge vplsA

Setting a Baseline for a Network Interface associated with a VPLS Instance

To set a statistics baseline for the VPLS network interface:

• Issue the baseline bridge interface command.
  host1#baseline bridge interface gigabitEthernet 4/1

Setting a Baseline for the VPLS Virtual Core Interface associated with a VPLS Instance

To set a statistics baseline for the VPLS virtual core interface:

• Issue the baseline bridge interface vpls command.
  host1#baseline bridge interface vpls vplsA
