Network Traffic Stats on virtual interface


Hello All,
I am Santhosh. I am facing a problem collecting statistics like Received Packets, Received Bytes, Transmitted Bytes etc for a virtual interface configured on cpci card (zrl0:1). /sbin/ifconfig command output doesn't show any data for virtual interface however for interface which is maintained by kernel (zrl0) it shows. Following is the sample output

zrl0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:42:11:A8:4C
inet addr:192.168.0.105 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:267926 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:209036 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:9

zrl0:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:42:11:A8:4C
inet addr:10.51.81.107 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
Interrupt:9

My questions are :
a) Does the stats shown for zrl0 interface, include traffic for both zrl0 and zrl0:1 OR is it just of zrl0 interface?
b) If answer to question a) is NO, then how can I get stats for zrl0:1 virtual interface?
Please advice.

Thanks,
Santhosh

Hi,

And welcome to LQ!

And you've got me stumped :}

I've never seen or heard of a zrl0. What OS are you using, and
what kind of device is this?



Cheers,
Tink
