show Interfaces counters errors not showing Giants column

[Magnets]

Hello there,

I've been using 2900 series switches which show these counters

#show int count errors

Port Align-Err FCS-Err Xmit-Err Rcv-Err UnderSize OutDiscards

Port Single-Col Multi-Col Late-Col Excess-Col Carri-Sen Runts Giants

however we have a few 9200L-48P-4x running IOS XE 17.03.03

and when i do the same command i get

Port Align-Err FCS-Err Xmit-Err Rcv-Err UnderSize OutDiscards
Port Single-Col Multi-Col Late-Col Excess-Col Carri-Sen Runts

Where has the Giants column gone?

Hi,

The 9200 should have it too. Can you post the output of "sh int tex/x/x"?

or

gix/x/x

hmmmm, yes it's there, but not in the table. ugh. look at those giants.

That does help. Sorry, I'm a beginner at this, is there a regular expression i can use to make a table

sho int | inc giants

gives me the list but not the interface

[Magnets]

That does show the giants error.

but not in the error counter table. Is this a cisco bug or have they decided to put it only in the show interface command?

`nough said.

"sh interfaces GigabitEthernet 2/0/40 | inc giant"

should show you something like this:

0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles

Thanks Reza,

yup, that was the closest i got too. i'm lucky in that i know which interfaces i suspect will have the giants. 

It was so much easier when they showed on the sho int count erro table.

[Magnets · Accepted solution]

this is the closest i got

sho interfaces | i Ethernet[0-9]| giants

It outputs the name of the port and the line with the giants on it.

I tried

sho interfaces | i Ethernet[0-9]| [^0] giants

which i thought would show line that didn't have 0 giants but it didn't work. so close enough.
