Hi, could someone please explain why when you do a show interface command on an ethernet port when trying to count input and output counters it shows this as packets and not frames ?
This is probably historical. Frames are the correct terminology for Ethernet (layer2) and packets layer3. As routers (and Cisco) historically wrote IOS to route IP, they term network data units as packets and not frames.
