Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
clear counters [interface]
[vrrp [vrid] | learning-limit]
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 and ExaScale, 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 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE
followed by the slot/port information.
• For a VLAN, enter the keyword vlan followed by a number from 1 to
4094
E-Series ExaScale platforms support 4094 VLANs with FTOS version
8.2.1.0 and later.
Earlier ExaScale supports 2094 VLANS.
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword vrrp to clear statistics for all VRRP
groups configured. Enter a number from 1 to 255 as the
vrid.
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword learning-limit to clear unknown source
address (SA) drop counters when MAC learning limit is configured on the
interface.
