Showing Traffic Information (asg_ifconfig)

The asg_ifconfig command collects traffic statistics from all or a specified range of SGMs. The combined output shows the traffic distribution between SGMs and their interfaces (calculated during a certain period).

The asg_ifconfig command has three modes:

Native
Default setting. When the analyze or banalyze option is not specified the command behaves similar to the native Linux ifconfig command, except that the output shows statistics for all interfaces on all SGMs and shows statistics for interfaces on the local SGM.
Analyze
Shows accumulated traffic information and traffic distribution between SGMs.
Banalyze
Shows accumulated traffic information and traffic distribution between interfaces

Note:

The analyze and banalyze parameters cannot be used together.
If you run this command in a Virtual System context, you can only see the output that applies to that context.

Syntax

asg_ifconfig

asg_ifconfig [-b <sgm_ids>] [<interface>]

asg_ifconfig [-b <sgm_ids>] [<interface>] [analyze] [-d <delay>] [-v] [-a]

asg_ifconfig [-b <sgm_ids>] [<interface>] [banalyze][-d <delay>] [-v] [-a]

Parameter	Description
`Interface`	The name of the interface
`-b <sgm_ids>`	Works with SGMs and/or Chassis as specified by <sgm_ids>. The `<sgm_ids>` can be: No <sgm`_ids`> specified or `all` shows all SGMs and Chassis One SGM A comma-separated list of SGMs (`1_1,1_4`) A range of SGMs (`1_1-1_4`) One Chassis (`Chassis1` or `Chassis2`) The active Chassis (`chassis_active`)
`-d delay`	Delay, in seconds, between data samples (default = 5).
`-v`	Verbose mode: Shows traffic distribution between interfaces.
`-a`	Shows total traffic volume. By default (without `-a`), the average traffic volume per second shows.
`-h`	Shows help information and exit.
`analyze`	Shows accumulated traffic information. Use the `-v`, `-a` and `-d <delay>` parameters to show traffic distribution between interfaces.
`banalyze`	Shows accumulated traffic information. Use the `-v`, `-a` and `-d <delay>` parameters to show traffic distribution between interfaces. You can use these parameters to sort the traffic distribution table: `-rp` X packets `-rb` X bytes `-rd` X dropped packets `-tp` X packets `-tb` X bytes `-td` X dropped packet For example, if you sort with the `-rb` option, the higher values appear at the top of the RX bytes column in the traffic distribution table: SGM ID RX packets RX bytes RX dropped 1_03 70% 1_02 20% 1_01 10% By default, the traffic distribution table is not sorted.
