4.1.4.1.1 Statistics Using GEL Scripts

Use the steps in Section 4.1.4.1 to use GEL scripts to retrieve or reset statistics on CPSW.

The GEL script prints all the non-zero statistics for the host port and the MAC port (see the sample in Figure 4-13):

The exact details of each statistic can be inferred from the TRM for the device.
