Description | This article explains why the interface TX/RX shows the wrong counter for the EMAC interface configured in VLAN for NP6/ NP6XLIGHT platform. |
Scope | Fortigate. |
Solution |
By design, FortiOS does not support Tx/RX counter of EMAC interface for the NP6/ NP6XLIGHT platform if the EMAC interface is configured on the 'VLAN' interface. It shows wrong TX/RX stats than actual traffic.
Refer to the below sample config:
# config system interface
After initiating the traffic, it is possible to observe wrong stats for the EMAC VLAN interface than the actual traffic sent.
FGT # fnsysctl ifconfig EMAC_VLAN_Intetface FGT # fnsysctl ifconfig VLAN_100
For a workaround, disable the auto-asic-offload on firewall policy to get the exact TX/RX counter in CLI and GUI.
# config firewall policy |
