[c-nsp] Fun with interface counters.

[Drew Weaver]

Hi,

It's just a Gigabit Ethernet interface with an IP, it's not attached to a VLAN.

Trunk port or access port?

One of the main places I've seen mismatching amounts of tx/rx is on
trunk ports, where either the "switchport trunk allowed vlan" doesn't
match on both sides, or in the case of the router interface, you only
have .1Q subinterfaces configured for certain VLANs, but other VLANs
are flooding across the link.
