The output for the counters in the CLI is in hexadecimal. The counters were meant to be viewed from the WebUI in graph form as indicated in the NetScreen Concepts & Examples Vol. 2 Fundamentals Guide for ScreenOS 4.0.0 (~ 7.79 MB):
When you enable counting in a policy, the NetScreen device counts the total number of bytes of traffic to which this policy applies and records the information in historical graphs. To view the historical graphs for a policy in the WebUI, click Reports > Policies > (for the policy whose traffic count you want to see).
If the command, "get counter policy 3 hour", is performed, the output will be:
Policy 3
PID: 3, Interval: Hour, Unit: Mb/Hr, End Time: 7 Apr 2003 17:00:01
