grep a string in the lines between 2 strings of a file

Hi ,
Please help me with the following problem:
I have an xml file with the following lines

Code:
<cisco:name>
  <cisco:mdNm>Cisco Device 7500 A Series</cisco:mdNm>
  <cisco:meNm>10.1.100.19</cisco:meNm>
  <cisco:ehNm>/shelf=1</cisco:ehNm>
      <cisco:subname>
         <cisco:sptp>Cisco PortA Series</cisco:sptp>
         <cisco:aliasNameList xsi:nil="true"/>
         <cisco:owner xsi:nil="true"/>
                      <cisco:subportname>
                 <cisco:cpt>Cisco SubPort B Series</cisco:cpt>
                 <cisco:aliasNamesubList xsi:nil="true"/>
                 <cisco:userLabel xsi:nil="true"/>
               </cisco:subportname>
       </cisco:subname>
           <cisco:subname>
         <cisco:sptp>Cisco PortAB Series</cisco:sptp>
         <cisco:aliasNameList xsi:nil="true"/>
         <cisco:owner xsi:nil="true"/>
                      <cisco:subportname>
                 <cisco:cpt>Cisco SubPort AB Series</cisco:cpt>
                 <cisco:aliasNamesubList xsi:nil="true"/>
                 <cisco:userLabel xsi:nil="true"/>
               </cisco:subportname>
       </cisco:subname>
</cisco:name>
<cisco:name>
  <cisco:mdNm>Cisco Device 7500B Series</cisco:mdNm>
  <cisco:meNm>10.1.100.20</cisco:meNm>
  <cisco:ehNm>/shelf=2</cisco:ehNm>
      <cisco:subname>
         <cisco:sptp>Cisco Port B Series</cisco:sptp>
         <cisco:aliasNameList xsi:nil="true"/>
         <cisco:owner xsi:nil="true"/>
                      <cisco:subportname>
                 <cisco:cpt>Cisco SubPort B Series</cisco:cpt>
                 <cisco:aliasNamesubList xsi:nil="true"/>
                 <cisco:userLabel xsi:nil="true"/>
               </cisco:subportname>
       </cisco:subname>
</cisco:name>

In My code it will first check the two strings <cisco:name> and </cisco:name> and after that it will grep the count of <cisco:cpt>. and so on continue till the end of file



Code:
#!/bin/sh
sed '/<\/cisco:name>/{G;}' test.xml >temp 

nawk 'BEGIN{RS=""} 
{ 
grep -c '<cisco:cpt>' print 


}' temp 
rm temp

this code is not giving the the op as
in first<cisco:name> and </cisco:name> loop it should give 2 then for next it would 1

plz help
