Interface Statistics and errors on Juniper

Juniper provides us a way to see the statistics on the interface.

There are 4 main commands that you can use for this.

Let’s see the 1st one:

root@R1> show interfaces terse

Interface               Admin Link Proto    Local                 Remote

ge-0/0/0                up    up

lc-0/0/0                up    up

lc-0/0/0.32769          up    up   vpls

pfe-0/0/0               up    up

pfe-0/0/0.16383         up    up   inet

inet6

pfh-0/0/0               up    up

pfh-0/0/0.16383         up    up   inet

ge-0/0/1                up    up

ge-0/0/2                up    up

ge-0/0/3                up    up

ge-0/0/4                up    up

This command I like it a lot. It shows me in a very simple way if the interface is up and running, and also it shows the IP addresses on the interfaces. Those are the main things that you as a network engineer may require most of the time to know on the interfaces. If you come from Cisco world, this command is similar to “show ip interface brief” in Cisco.

If you want to have more information on the interfaces, you can use the following command:

root@R1> show interfaces brief

Physical interface: ge-0/0/0, Enabled, Physical link is Up

Link-level type: Ethernet, MTU: 1514, MRU: 1522, Speed: 1000mbps,

Loopback: Disabled, Source filtering: Disabled, Flow control: Enabled

Device flags   : Present Running

Interface flags: SNMP-Traps Internal: 0x4000

Link flags     : None

 

Physical interface: lc-0/0/0, Enabled, Physical link is Up

Type: Unspecified, Link-level type: Unspecified, MTU: 0,

Clocking: Unspecified, Speed: 800mbps

Device flags   : Present Running

 

Logical interface lc-0/0/0.32769

Flags: Up Encapsulation: ENET2

vpls

This command provides more information, specially about the physical and logical interfaces.

If you still want to have more information on the interfaces, you can use the following command:

root@R1> show interfaces detail

Physical interface: ge-0/0/0, Enabled, Physical link is Up

Interface index: 137, SNMP ifIndex: 513, Generation: 140

Link-level type: Ethernet, MTU: 1514, MRU: 1522, Speed: 1000mbps,

BPDU Error: None, MAC-REWRITE Error: None, Loopback: Disabled,

Source filtering: Disabled, Flow control: Enabled

Pad to minimum frame size: Disabled

Device flags   : Present Running

Interface flags: SNMP-Traps Internal: 0x4000

Link flags     : None

CoS queues     : 8 supported, 8 maximum usable queues

Hold-times     : Up 0 ms, Down 0 ms

Current address: 00:05:86:71:a0:00, Hardware address: 00:05:86:71:a0:00

Last flapped   : 2024-02-08 15:50:50 CET (02:49:57 ago)

Statistics last cleared: Never

Traffic statistics:

Input  bytes  :                    0                    0 bps

Output bytes  :                    0                    0 bps

Input  packets:                    0                    0 pps

Output packets:                    0                    0 pps

IPv6 transit statistics:

Input  bytes  :                   0

Output bytes  :                   0

Input  packets:                   0

—(more)—

This command provides everything that you have seen in the previous 2 commands in addition of more information.

Finally, the last command that you can use to get information about the interfaces is:

root@R1> show interfaces extensive

Physical interface: ge-0/0/0, Enabled, Physical link is Up

Interface index: 137, SNMP ifIndex: 513, Generation: 140

Link-level type: Ethernet, MTU: 1514, MRU: 1522, Speed: 1000mbps,

BPDU Error: None, MAC-REWRITE Error: None, Loopback: Disabled,

Source filtering: Disabled, Flow control: Enabled

Pad to minimum frame size: Disabled

Device flags   : Present Running

Interface flags: SNMP-Traps Internal: 0x4000

Link flags     : None

CoS queues     : 8 supported, 8 maximum usable queues

Hold-times     : Up 0 ms, Down 0 ms

Current address: 00:05:86:71:a0:00, Hardware address: 00:05:86:71:a0:00

Last flapped   : 2024-02-08 15:50:50 CET (02:51:14 ago)

Statistics last cleared: Never

Traffic statistics:

Input  bytes  :                    0                    0 bps

Output bytes  :                    0                    0 bps

Input  packets:                    0                    0 pps

Output packets:                    0                    0 pps

IPv6 transit statistics:

Input  bytes  :                   0

Output bytes  :                   0

Input  packets:                   0

—(more)—

This command will show everything that can be shown on the interface level.

This is all what I wanted to show you in this lesson, see you in the upcoming one 😊
