# ip stats set dev swp1 hw_stats on

Does it belong on the switch port? Not the netdev we want to track?

Yes, it does, and is designed that way. That was just muscle memory
typing that "swp1" above :)

And by "yes, it does", I obviously meant "no, it doesn't". It does
belong to the device that you want counters for.

You would do e.g. "ip stats set dev swp1.200 hw_stats on" or, "dev br1",
or something like that.
