Dean, Probably good to move this over to cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net and answer the questions below over there. What code is it? Looks like a bug where the IDB counters are not being bumped on the SVI. Is it L3 switching traffic through the SVI or L2 (intra vlan traffic between L2 ports)? Rodney On 5/26/10 4:17 AM, Dean Belev wrote:
