Troubleshooting Packet Loss
The show hardware stack-unit command is intended primarily to troubleshoot packet loss.
To troubleshoot packet loss, use the following commands.
show hardware stack-unit stack-unit-number cpu data-plane statistics
show hardware stack-unit stack-unit-number cpu party-bus statistics
show hardware stack-unit stack-unit-number drops unit unit-number
show hardware stack-unit stack-unit-number unit unit-number {counters | details | port-stats

Displaying Drop Counters
To display drop counters, use the following commands.
Identify which stack unit and port pipe is experiencing internal drops.
show hardware stack-unit stack-unit-number drops [unit unit-number]
Identify which interface is experiencing internal drops.
