show interfaces (Aggregated Ethernet)

Syntax

Description

(M Series, T Series, MX Series, and PTX Series routers) Display status information about the specified aggregated Ethernet interfaces.

Options

aenumber

Display standard information about the specified aggregated Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interface.

brief | detail | extensive | terse

(Optional) Display the specified level of output.

descriptions

(Optional) Display interface description strings.

media

(Optional) Display media-specific information.

snmp-index snmp-index

(Optional) Display information for the specified SNMP index of the interface.

statistics

(Optional) Display static interface statistics.

Note:

On Junos OS Evolved, in untagged aggregated ethernet (ae) interfaces with no logical interface configuration, the ae interface will not be shown as "down" and the speed will not be shown as "unspecified." The speed will be the aggregate speed of all the child member interfaces which are "up." In Junos OS, the speed is shown as "unspecified" in this case.

Input rate in bits per second (bps) and packets per second (pps).

None specified

Output Rate

Output rate in bps and pps.

None specified

Statistics last cleared

Time when the statistics for the interface were last set to zero.

detail extensive

Traffic statistics

Number and rate of bytes and packets received and transmitted on the physical interface.

  • Input bytes—Number of bytes and rate, in bps, at which bytes are received on the interface.

  • Output bytes—Number of bytes and rate, in bps, at which bytes are transmitted on the interface.

  • Input packets—Number of packets and rate, in pps, at which packets are received on the interface.

  • Output packets—Number of packets and rate, in pps, at which packets are transmitted on the interface.

detail extensive

Input errors

Input errors on the interface:

  • Errors—Sum of incoming frame terminates and frame check sequence (FCS) errors.

  • Drops—Number of packets dropped by the input queue of the I/O Manager ASIC. If the interface is saturated, this number increments once for every packet that is dropped by the ASIC's random early detection (RED) mechanism.

  • Framing errors—Number of packets received with an invalid frame checksum (FCS).

  • Runts—Number of frames received that are smaller than the runt threshold.

  • Giants—Number of frames received that are larger than the giant threshold.

  • Policed discards—Number of frames that the incoming packet match code discarded because they were not recognized or were not of interest. Usually, this field reports protocols that Junos OS does not handle.

  • Resource errors—Sum of transmit drops.

detail extensive

Output errors

Output errors on the interface. The following paragraphs explain the counters whose meaning might not be obvious:

  • Carrier transitions —Number of times the interface has gone from down to up. This number does not normally increment quickly, increasing only when the cable is unplugged, the far-end system is powered down and then up, or another problem occurs. If the number of carrier transitions increments quickly (perhaps once every 10 seconds), then the cable, the far-end system, or the PIC is malfunctioning.

  • Errors—Sum of the outgoing frame terminates and FCS errors.

  • Drops—Number of packets dropped by the output queue of the I/O Manager ASIC. If the interface is saturated, this number increments once for every packet that is dropped by the ASIC's RED mechanism.

  • MTU errors—Number of packets whose size exceeded the MTU of the interface.

  • Resource errors—Sum of transmit drops.

detail extensive

IPv6 transit statistics

Number of IPv6 transit bytes and packets received and transmitted on the physical interface if IPv6 statistics tracking is enabled.

  • Input bytes—Number of bytes received on the interface.

  • Output bytes—Number of bytes transmitted on the interface.

  • Input packets—Number of packets received on the interface.

  • Output packets—Number of packets transmitted on the interface.

detail extensive

MAC statistics

Display media access control (MAC) statistics.

  • Broadcast packets—Number of broadcast packets received and transmitted.

  • Multicast packets—Number of multicast packets received and transmitted.

detail extensive

Queue counters

CoS queue number and its associated user-configured forwarding class name.

  • Queued packets—Number of queued packets.

  • Transmitted packets—Number of transmitted packets.

  • Dropped packets—Number of packets dropped by the ASIC's RED mechanism.

    Note:

    In DPCs that are not of the enhanced type, such as DPC 40x 1GE R, DPCE 20x 1GE + 2x 10GE R, or DPCE 40x 1GE R, you might notice a discrepancy in the output of the show interfaces command because incoming packets might be counted in the Egress queues section of the output. This problem occurs on non-enhanced DPCs because the egress queue statistics are polled from IMQ (Inbound Message Queuing) block of the I-chip. The IMQ block does not differentiate between ingress and egress WAN traffic; as a result, the combined statistics are displayed in the egress queue counters on the Routing Engine. In a simple VPLS scenario, if there is no MAC entry in DMAC table (by sending unidirectional traffic), traffic is flooded and the input traffic is accounted in IMQ. For bidirectional traffic (MAC entry in DMAC table), if the outgoing interface is on the same I-chip then both ingress and egress statistics are counted in a combined way. If the outgoing interface is on a different I-chip or FPC, then only egress statistics are accounted in IMQ. This behavior is expected with non-enhanced DPCs
