The display parameters, when the argument is switchport are as follows:
show interface counters
This command reports key summary statistics for all the ports (physical/CPU/port-channel).
Transmit Packets
Discarded
The number of outbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though
no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer
protocol. A possible reason for discarding a packet could be to free up buffer space.
Transmit Packets Errors The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors.
Collisions Frames The best estimate of the total number of collisions on this Ethernet segment.
Time Since Counters Last
Cleared
The elapsed time, in days, hours, minutes, and seconds since the statistics for this
port were last cleared.
