Monitoring Interfaces and Transceivers with NVUE
NVUE enables you to check the status of an interface, and view and clear interface counters. Interface counters provide information about an interface, such as the number of packets dropped, the number of inbound and outbound packets not transmitted because of errors, and so on.
Show Interface Configuration and Statistics
To check the configuration and statistics for an interface, run the nv show interface <interface> command:
cumulus@switch:~$ nv show interface swp1

- NVUE does not show detailed statistics for logical interfaces, such as bonds, VLAN interfaces or subinterfaces. To see basic statistics for logical interfaces, run the
nv show interface <interface> link statscommand. - On NVIDIA Spectrum switches, Cumulus Linux updates physical counters to the kernel every two seconds and virtual interfaces (such as VLAN interfaces) every ten seconds. You cannot change these values. Because the update process takes a lower priority than other
switchdprocesses, the interval might be longer when the system is under a heavy load.
AmBER PHY Health Management
To show physical layer information, such as the error counters for each lane on a port, run the nv show interface <interface> link phy-detail command. This command highlights link integrity issues.
The effective-ber in the command output represents the uncorrectable bit error rate, which is the same as uncorrected FEC errors.

Switches with the Spectrum 1 ASIC do not support the nv show interface <interface> link phy-detail command or the nv show interface <interface> link phy-diag command.
Clear Interface Counters
To clear counters (statistics) for all interfaces, run the nv action clear interface counters command:
cumulus@switch$ nv action clear interface counters
all interface counters cleared
Action succeeded
To clear the counters for an interface, run the nv action clear interface <interface> counters command:
cumulus@switch$ nv action clear interface swp1 counters
swp1 counters cleared
Action succeeded
The nv action clear interface <interface> counters command does not clear counters in the hardware.
Show Transceiver Information
To show the identifier, vendor name, part number, serial number, and revision for all modules, run the nv show platform transceiver command:
cumulus@switch:~$ nv show platform transceiver
