Specifies the fields for which statistics on the number of packets sent to the CPU will be collected.

pstat field-add { input-port | l2-dest-mac |l2-dest-mac-type|l2-source-mac}

input-port
Collects CPU packet statistics based on the inbound Ethernet port.
l2-dest-mac
Collects CPU packet statistics based on the Layer 2 destination MAC address.

Global configuration mode

The system can be configured to collect statistics on packets destined for the CPU based based on a set of specified fields. The pstat field-add command specifies the fields for which packets will be counted.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# pstat field-add l2-dest-mac
device(config)# pstat field-add input-port
device(config)# pstat field-add l2-dest-mac-type
device(config)# pstat max 3
device(config)# pstat start

device(config)# show pstat 11
