How to implement this kind of command： show interfaces [interface-id] counters

[Gavin Xu]

Hi

    I want to implement this command:

    show interfaces [interface-id] counters

The xml content I edited is as follows, but the effect is not as expected

    <COMMAND name="show interface" help="Show Interface info">
      <PARAM name="if-subcommands" help="Interface subcommands" mode="switch" ptype="SUBCOMMAND">
        <PARAM name="interface-id" help="Physical interface(Multiples of 4)" ptype="UINT" mode="subcommand" optional="true">
          <PARAM name="counters" help="Counters for Physical Interfaces" ptype="SUBCOMMAND" mode="subcommand"> </PARAM>
        </PARAM>
        <PARAM name="Ethernet" help="Physical Interface" ptype="SUBCOMMAND" mode="subcommand">
          <PARAM name="phy-if-id" help="Physical interface(Multiples of 4)" ptype="UINT" optional="true"> </PARAM>
        </PARAM>
        <PARAM name="status" help="Physical interfaces status" ptype="SUBCOMMAND" mode="subcommand"> </PARAM>
      </PARAM>
      <ACTION>

       .......

      </ACTION>
      <xi:include href="include/pipe.xml"/>
    </COMMAND>

Hello, I think firstly, there exists a problem in your xml that PARAM interface-id has the attribute mode="subcommand".

And if you want to make interface-id an optional param, you could try like this:

COMMAND  show interface

        PARAM  mode=switch

                PARAM  interface-id

                        PARAM  counters

                PARAM  counters

                PARAM  Ethernet

                ……

Hi Shawn:

    thank you for your reply.

I modified as follows：

The result is as follows, not as expected:

any other suggestions?

I'm sorry for my expression ahead. What I mean is that:

(1) remove optional="true" of PARAM interface-id
(2) add a PARAM tag named counters at the same level as PARAM interface-id

And let me explain why can't you execute "show interface counters". That's because PARAM counters is in PARAM interface-id, or we could say PARAM counters is the child of PARAM interface-id(image xml as a tree). So if you don't input interface-id, you can't input counters, too.
