Does 'sh int' include multicast packet ?

[henrybb]

Loop occured in my network.After I sh int , I have some question.

Almost all input packet is broadcast,so where is multicast ? Does the number of broadcast include multicast ?

thanks!

Hi,

I don't know which model of Cisco Switch you have,

Here is the output from one of my C2960 which do seems to have this counter under the show interface command.
