SHOW COUNTER
2-325
Example 1
The following command displays counter error statistics for Ethernet network 1. 
Some modules report a Late Collision if the collision becomes active after 512 
bits from the start of the transmission. Other modules log Late Collisions if the 
collision is active exactly 512 bit times, even if the collision was asserted before 
512 bit times.

Each error type is followed by the number of packets received that contains that 
error.
tr_promiscuous
Specifies that you want to display counter error statistics from the 
Token Ring promiscuous error counter.
tr_source_routing Specifies that you want to display counter error statistics from the 
Token Ring source routing error counter.
token_ring
Specifies that you want to display counter statistics for a Token Ring 
network.
token ring
Identifies the Token Ring network.
vbridge
Specifies that you want to display the number of Spanning Tree 
topology changes and learned entry discards for a SwitchModule 
virtual bridge.
through 256
