show frame-relay pvc
When you issue the show frame-relay pvc command, you get output that
contains the LMI status of every DLCI on the router, or you may be more
specific and check only certain PVCs.
There are two types of DLCI usage: local DTE and switched. Things to
check for in the output of the command include dropped frames, congestion
notifications, and discard-eligible packets.
Here is a sample output. The data provided includes PVC information. It
has the input and output packets for the interface, as well as FECN and
BECN packet information. These statistics are available for every DLCI PVC
on the router. Here, only two PVCs are shown:
