Step 4: Clear SONET Interface Statistics

Purpose

You must reset SONET interface statistics before you initiate 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 so-fpc/pic/port

Sample Output

user@host> clear interfaces statistics so-4/0/2

user@host>

What It Means

This command clears the interface statistics counters for interface so-4/0/2 only.
