3750 VLAN interface statistics ?

Isn't a layer 3 switch supposed to correctly count routerd packets in the corresponding VLAN interface ? None of these do count correctly on this 3750 below.

I did not considered that an issue when the system was insatalled, but now thinking about it, it would be nice to know how much traffic each VLAN exchanges with others.

FG-SW-CORE#sh int summ


*: interface is up
IHQ: pkts in input hold queue     IQD: pkts dropped from input queue
OHQ: pkts in output hold queue    OQD: pkts dropped from output queue
RXBS: rx rate (bits/sec)          RXPS: rx rate (pkts/sec)
TXBS: tx rate (bits/sec)          TXPS: tx rate (pkts/sec)
TRTL: throttle count


  Interface               IHQ   IQD  OHQ   OQD  RXBS RXPS  TXBS TXPS TRTL

Isn't a layer 3 switch supposed to correctly count routerdpackets in the corresponding VLAN interface ?

Some do, ie. the higher end L3 switches and some don't. Unfortunately the 3750 doesn't. It is a hardware limitation of the platform. All the SVI counters show is -

1) management traffic to that actual vlan ie. if you telnetted to the SVI ip address

2) any packets that are routed between vlans but are not hardware switched ie. they are sent to the main CPU

Yes, I see.

I had expected that the genious hardware team would have put a counter for that, wasn't the case.

Or maybe marketing forgot to specify, and they got away with that
