Type
Reason for the frame discard. Frames can be discarded for a variety of reasons.
The only discard reason currently handled by the frame log is timeout.
Count
The number of discarded frames logged in the frame log that have the log
timestamp, TX port, RX port, SID, DID, SFID and DFID values listed on this line of
output. Note that this count may be less than the actual number of such frames
discarded, because the frame log cannot log the details of all discarded frames.
When viewed in dump mode, the frame log displays the following information:
Log timestamp
The date and time when the frames described in this line of output were
discarded.
TX port
Egress port where the frames were bound to exit the chassis. A port displayed as
-1 (or -1/-1 on slot-based systems) indicates an internal port.
RX port
Ingress port where the frames were bound to enter the chassis. A port displayed
as -1 (or -1/-1 on slot-based systems indicates an internal port.
Type
Reason for the frame discard. Frames can be discarded for a variety of reasons.

OPERANDS This command has the following operands:

When frame logging is disabled, only the --help and --enable operations are
permitted.
--enable
Enables logging of discarded frames after the feature was disabled.
--clear
Clears the stored history of discarded frames. This operation is permitted only
when the feature is enabled.
--show
Prints a listing of details about stored frames that match the specified filter criteria.
This operation is permitted only when the feature is enabled. You can specify one
or more of the following options to filter the output. When used without operands,
the --show command displays the unfiltered output.
-txport [slot/]port
Displays only the frames that were bound to exit by the specified egress port.
-rxport [slot/]port
