Configuring the Traffic Statistics Collection Interval
Context
By setting the traffic statistics collection interval, you can collect and analyze packet statistics. According to traffic statistics, you can take measures to prevent network congestion and service interruption.
When congestion occurs, you can set the statistics collection interval on an interface to 300 seconds or less (30 seconds if congestion worsens). Then observe traffic distribution on the interface within a short period of time. Take measures to data packets that cause congestion to control the rate of the packets.
When the network bandwidth is sufficient and services are running properly, set the statistics collection interval on an interface to more than 300 seconds. If traffic parameters on an interface are out of the specified range, change the statistics collection interval to observe the traffic statistics in real time.
The interval set in the system view takes effect on all the interfaces that use the default interval.
The interval set in the interface view takes effect only on this interface.
The interval set in the interface view takes precedence over the interval set in the system view.
The new interval takes effect after the original interval expires. Traffic statistics on logical interfaces are displayed in the second periodic update after the new interval takes effect. Traffic statistics on physical interfaces are displayed when the new interval takes effect.
