interface
Enter one of the following keywords and slot/port or number 
information:
• For a 1-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword 
gigabitethernet followed by the slot/port information.
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword 
tengigabitethernet followed by the slot/port information.
• For a SONET interface, enter the keyword 
sonet followed by the 
slot/port information.
• For a port-channel interface, enter the keyword 
port-channel 
followed by a number:
C-Series and S-Series Range: 1-128
E-Series Range: 1 to 32 for EtherScale, 1 to 255 for TeraScale, 
and 1 to 512 for ExaScale
• For VLAN interfaces, enter the keyword 
vlan followed by a 
number from 1 to 4094. For ExaScale VLAN interfaces, the 
range is 1-2730 (VLAN IDs can be 0-4093).
bgp
(OPTIONAL) Enter this keyword to display counter information for
