Establishing a Baseline

SNMP statistics are stored in system counters. The only way to reset the system counters is to reboot the router. You can, however, establish a baseline for SNMP statistics by setting a group of reference counters to zero.

baseline snmp

Use to establish a baseline for SNMP statistics.
The system implements the baseline by reading and storing the statistics at the time the baseline is set and then subtracting this baseline whenever baseline-relative statistics are retrieved.
To display statistics relative to the current baseline, use the delta keyword with SNMP show commands.
SNMP operations (such as Get and Set) continue to use and report statistics from the system counters.
See Viewing SNMP Status for a sample display when you enter the show snmp command. If you establish a baseline and then enter show snmp, the statistics now have zero or low values.
