Clear Counters Clear Counters ashokshabakah (ISP) (OP) 21 Feb 05 09:36 Hai All    Iam new to the forum can any one explain me the command Clear counters its exactly for wat purpose plz explain me thanks carlos RE: Clear Counters ashokshabakah (ISP) (OP) 21 Feb 05 12:08 any suggestions RE: Clear Counters vipergg (MIS) 21 Feb 05 12:12    This clears all the counters you see when you do a like a show interface command on a IOS box .  When do a show interface command it will tell you when the last time the counters were cleared .   This clears interface errors,crc's packet counters etc... RE: Clear Counters robertjo24 (MIS) 21 Feb 05 12:25 You can clear the counters on al linterfces at once with the command, or you can specify a particular interface and clear the counters on just that interface. Here are the examples: Router#clear counters Clear "show interface" counters on all interfaces [confirm] Router#clear counters s0/0 Clear "show interface" counters on this interface [confirm] Router# RE: Clear Counters themut (TechnicalUser) 21 Feb 05 12:57 When you issue a "show interface <interface>" it will display the statistics for the interface selected: GigabitEthernet1/0 is up, line protocol is up   Hardware is GigMac 3 Port GigabitEthernet, address is 000b.bf2e.9100 (bia 000b.bf2e.9100)   Internet address is VVV.XXX.YYY.ZZZ   MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec, rely 255/255, load 13/255   Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set   Keepalive set (10 sec)   Full-duplex mode, link type is force-up, media type is SX   output flow-control is unsupported, input flow-control is off   ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00   Last input 00:00:00, output 00:00:00, output hang never   Last clearing of "show interface" counters 14w2d   Queueing strategy: random early detection (WRED)   Output queue 0/40, 0 drops; input queue 0/75, 0 drops   5 minute input rate 24283000 bits/sec, 9653 packets/sec   5 minute output rate 53901000 bits/sec, 10016 packets/sec      42635042229 packets input, 15110789127436 bytes, 0 no buffer      Received 155 broadcasts, 0 runts, 1123639 giants, 0 throttles      0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored      0 watchdog, 3586458 multicast, 0 pause input      41129255803 packets output, 26839029196142 bytes, 0 underruns      0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets      0 babbles, 0 late collision, 0 deferred      1 lost carrier, 0 no carrier, 0 pause output      0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out As you can see, it has several counters which increment when the corresponding traffic matches. When you are troubleshooting, it is useful to have a reference value for this counters. That's when the "clear counters <interface>" command comes handy, because it resets all counters so it is easier for you to determine which counters are incrementing. RE: Clear Counters ashokshabakah (ISP) (OP) 21 Feb 05 13:07 thanks for u replies and as i saw in the output i can see 1123639 giant packets so this will be also cleared right  once again thanks for u r replies carlos Red Flag Submitted Thank you for helping keep Tek-Tips Forums free from inappropriate posts.
