show mls statistics
Usage Guidelines If your system is configured with the Supervisor Engine 2 with Switc hing En gine II (PFC2) , t he show
mls statistics entry command output displays per flow statistics as per the configured flow mask. You
can enter this command to display per-flow statistics for flows that are CEF switched (in hardware) or
switched through software-installed shortcuts in the NetFlow table.
You can enter the show mls statistics entry command to display NetFlow forward ing entries on systems
configured with a Supervisor Engine 2. If your system is co nfigured with a Su pe rvisor E ng ine 1, enter
the show mls entry command.
When specifying the ip | ipx keyword, if you specify ip or do not enter a keyword, this means that the
command is for IP MLS. If you specify ipx, this means the command is for IPX only.
When entering the IPX address syntax, use the following format:
•IPX net address—1...FFFFFFFE
•IPX node address—x.x.x where x is 0...FFFF
•IPX address—ipx_net.ipx_node (for example 3.0034.1245.AB45, A43.0000.0000.0001)
If you enter any of the show mls statistics protocol commands on a Catalyst 6500 series switch without
MLS, this warning message is displayed:
Feature not supported in hardware.
If you enter the show mls statistics protocol command, the statistics in the protocol category, such as
Telnet, FTP, or WWW are displayed. Note that this applies f or “full flo wmask” only. In flowmasks other
than full flow, inapplicable fields will have a dash (similar to show mls entry outputs).
A value 0 for src_port and dst_port means “don’t care.” Note that this applies for “full flowmask” only.
Use the following syntax to specify an IP subnet address:
•ip_subnet_addr—This is the short subnet address format. The trailing decimal number “00” in an
IP address YY.YY.YY.YY specifies the boundary for an IP subnet address. For example,
172.22.36.00 indicates a 24-bit subnet address (subnet mask 255.255.255.0), and 173.24 .00.0 0
indicates a 16-bit subnet address (subnet mask 255.255.0.0). H owever, this format can identify only
a subnet address with a length of 8, 16, or 24 bits.
•ip_addr/subnet_mask—This is the long subnet address format; for example,
172.22.252.00/255.255.252.00 indicates a 22-bit subnet address. This format can specify a sub net
address of any bit number. To provide more flexibility, the ip_addr is allowed to be a full host
address, such as 172.22.253.1/255.255.252.00, which has the sam e subnet addre ss as
ip_subnet_addr.
•ip_addr/maskbits—This is the simplified long subnet address format. The mask bits specify the
number of bits of the network masks. For example, 172.22.252.00/22 indicates a 22-bit subnet
address. The ip_addr is allowed to be a full host address, such as 172.22.254.1/22, which has the
same subnet address as 172.22.252.00/72.
If you place the MSFC on a supervisor engine installed in slot 1, the n th e MSFC is r ecog ni zed as
module 15. If you install the supervisor engine in slot 2 , th e MSFC i s reco gniz ed as m odu le 16.
The show mls statistics entry command displays bridged flows on a Su perv iso r Engi ne 2 wh en b rid ged
flow statistics is enabled. The show mls entry command displays bridged flows on a Supervisor
Engine 1 when bridged flow statistics is enabled. To enable or disable bridged flow statistics, enter the
set mls bridged-flow-statistics command.
Examples This example shows how to display the statistics for all protocol categories:
