sh interface gi1/0/1, packet count does not increment but bytes count do ?

Hi!

Im experiencing some hangs on a network connected camera, camera is powered over PoE...

The camera is not that important.

here is an example of sh interface for that port

switch#sh int gi1/0/1
GigabitEthernet1/0/1 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
  Hardware is Gigabit Ethernet, address is xxxx.xxxx.xxxx (bia xxxx.xxxx.xxxx)
  Description: XXXXXXXXXX
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit, DLY 100 usec,
     reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
  Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set
  Keepalive set (10 sec)
  Full-duplex, 100Mb/s, media type is 10/100/1000BaseTX
  input flow-control is off, output flow-control is unsupported
  ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00
  Last input never, output 00:00:01, output hang never
  Last clearing of "show interface" counters never
  Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0
  Queueing strategy: fifo
  Output queue: 0/40 (size/max)
  5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
  5 minute output rate 1000 bits/sec, 1 packets/sec
     7722720 packets input, 696305190 bytes, 0 no buffer
     Received 18 broadcasts (0 multicasts)
     0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles
     0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored
     0 watchdog, 0 multicast, 0 pause input
     0 input packets with dribble condition detected
     26156156 packets output, 2546644106 bytes, 0 underruns
     0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets
     0 babbles, 0 late collision, 0 deferred
     0 lost carrier, 0 no carrier, 0 PAUSE output
     0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out

After a hang the 'packets input' counter stays at the same, i can´t see a MAC-adress associated with the port...

But the byte count continues to increment with about 6 bytes/15 min interval.

How is this possible since i never see a MAC-adress on that port ? And what traffic could it be ?

Thank you!

Hi,

if something is connected  to that (as it should be as per outouts)  port the traffic you might expected is some type of L2 PDUs (STP, CDP, etc.).

Thank you for your answer.

I will mark this thread as answered, if someone has a better explanation (or confirmation of Riccardos answer) that would be appreciated.

Thank you Riccardo!
