Packet drop CLIs on Catalyst 3K and 9K switches

Hi,

Do we have a CLI or CLIs to display all packet drops because of forwarding (like L2/L3 related errors, ACL Drops etc) in the Catalyst Switch family. I am not looking at qos/queuing drops as such. Looking for more of forwarding drops. 

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

You can use "show controllers cpu-interface" to see the drops for L2/L3. For ACL, you can use "show access-list" command to see the access-list and number of packets hit per ACL Statement.

 

 

I am assuming this is for control plane packet drops, I am looking for datapath packet drops. 

 

Yes your are right, it is showing packets send to CPU for processing.

 

you can also take help from show interface gi0/0 as an example. It can show total drops on the interface but for troubleshooting purpose, that might not be very helpful if you are digging down a drop for some connection.

 

I believe ACL with logging will be helpful to use for troubleshooting purpose on the L3 Gateway or on core switch if terminates L3 connection
