Interface counters not working

Jul 13, 2006 2 Replies

I bought a used 2950 and everything seemed ok with it until I checked the interface counters.



For some reason, none of the physical port's counters are working and they all stay at zero despite traffic passing through the switch. The routers and servers on the switch ports are working fine, but I dont get why no traffic is registering on the interface counters. The only one thats working is the vlan interface

Yet the vlan int shows traffic

Probably a bug. You will need a software upgrade to fix it.

Current release is 12.1.22-EA8.
