interface diagnostics with errors?

[#1]

There is documentation that the command diag hardware deviceinfo nic should show more details than it does, including errors, but it does not. Is there a different diag hardware command that will show more details? I'm really looking for error counters.

Here's what in the documentation but not showing up:

Rx_Errors=0

Tx_Errors=0

Rx_Dropped=0

Tx_Dropped=0

I did find a web page with the command fnsysctl ifconfig wan2 that does show errors. Is this the only way?

Hi Norris,

Could you point to which documentation exactly states what you have observed? I will get our tech doc team to adjust that.

fnsysctl ifconfig is indeed the right way to get that information on non-NP interfaces. You might find that you get a different set of results when you run that diag hard deviceinfo on an NP circuitry which does, last I checked, provide the detailed error counters.

Hi Norris,

did you check the following command?
