Munir,

The "show port PORT_NUMBER statistics" command will give you a count of tx/rx broadcast packets.

That's what I'm asking for you, Thank you for your help.

Hi Munir,

I don't quite understand your question. The 'show l2stat' command shows how many packets have gone to the CPU since the last time the 'clear counters' command was run or the switch was rebooted. Earlier in the thread, Chad Smith mentioned that anything over 500-1000 PPS going to the CPU from an edge port is worthy of being investigated. Can you explain your question in more detail?

[MUNIR_ENG]

thank dear, but what is the maximum packets coming into the CPU?
