7.8.1.0 - Force10 Networks

Clearing interface counters
The counters in the show interfaces command are reset by the clear counters command. This command
does not clear the counters captured by any SNMP program.
To clear the counters, use the following command in the EXEC privilege mode:
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
clear counters [interface]
[vrrp [vrid] |
learning-limit]
When you enter this command, you must confirm that you want FTOS to clear the interface counters for
that interface (Figure 239).

EXEC privilege Clear the counters used in the show interface commands for
all VRRP groups, VLANs, and physical interfaces or selected
ones.
Without an interface specified, the command clears all
interface counters.
(OPTIONAL) Enter the following interface keywords and slot/port or
number information:
• For a 1-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
GigabitEthernet followed by the slot/port information.
• For a Loopback interface, enter the keyword loopback
followed by a number from 0 to 16383.
• For a Port Channel interface, enter the keyword port-channel
followed by a number from 1 to 255 for TeraScale, 1 to 32 for
EtherScale.
• For the management interface on the RPM, enter the keyword
ManagementEthernet followed by slot/port information.
The slot range is 0-1, and the port range is 0.
• For a SONET interface, enter the keyword sonet followed by
the slot/port information.
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet followed by the slot/port information.
• For a VLAN, enter the keyword vlan followed by a number from
1 to 4094
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword vrrp to clear statistics for all
VRRP groups configured. Enter a number from 1 to 255 as the vrid.
