Step 4: Clear Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet Interface Statistics

Purpose

You must reset the Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interface statistics before initiating the ping test. Resetting the statistics provides a clean start so that previous input/output errors and packet statistics do not interfere with the current diagnostics.

Action

To clear all statistics for the interface, use the following JUNOS CLI operational mode command:

user@host> clear interfaces statistics (fe-fpc/pic/port | ge-fpc/pic/port)

Sample Output

user@host> clear interfaces statistics ge-7/2/0

user@host>

What It Means

This command clears the interface statistics counters for the Gigabit Ethernet interface only.
