sh interface counters - can it be exported ?

[Carstenlymann]

Hi

Im having a lot of Switches (900). Many of them has wired connections in most port from the days when it didnt run wifi. Now most of my locations is having wifi, but still most switches has a lot of wired still connected..

Is it somehow possible in prime (or others) to export what i can see from the command sh interface counters ?

Im not interested in logging in to all 900 switches to run that command to see how many of the ports is still used. So if i could get some exported i could open in excel could be nice.

Many places i have 3-7 switches in same wired closet. Its those places i hope i maybe could save half of them.

Thx

Prime LMS does that quite well with an unused ports report. Even better than a point in time "show interface counters", it tracks ports over time and lets you know which ones have not been up.

If you like the show command, you can also use the netshow feature of LMS to grab that output across all your switches and export it in one fell swoop.

Hi

Thanks for reply. Prime LMS is not an option for me. Im using Prime2.2 and going to stick to that.

I ended up running the sh int count and export it to tftp. I ran that in prime so i got 900 .txt files. Then i got a friend of mine to make some scripting with pearl (he said it was easy, but i dont understand any of it :D ) and now i got a .csv file to import in excel, where i get a clear view without logging into every switch.
