Hi guys,
I have a working setup but I am wondering why I don't have any statistics available on my VFC interfaces.
lct-n5kup# show int counters fc brief

Again everything is working fine but I do not have any statistics on my VFCs.
Any hints on that?
Thanks a lot!

I see you are binding MAC addresses to your vFC rather than interfaces(perhaps you have a downstream FIP snooping switch such as Nexus 4000).
Note that Nexus 5000 does not support interface statistics for MAC bound vFCs.

Thank you for answering my question.
Could you also give an explanation why the behavior is like that?
