Clearing System Statistics
You may want to clear statistics for a specific module, port or service for dialogistic or 
accounting purposes. To clear switch statistics enter
clearstat
at the system prompt. A screen similar to the following will display.
Usage:  clearstat slot [,port] [,service] [,instance]
As indicated in the prompt, you can clear all statistics from a module by entering the slot 
number as shown here:
clearstat 3
This entry will clear all statistics for the module located in slot 3. If you want to clear statistics 
for a specific port, service or instance, enter the clearstat command followed by the appropri-
ate numbers. You must use a comma (,) to separate the slot number from the port, service 
and instance numbers. The following command will clear all statistics for port 1 of the 
module located in slot 3.
clearstat 3,1
♦ Caution♦
When the 
clearstat command is used, no notification is 
sent to the SNMP manager about the cleared statistics. 
Use of this command can cause unpredictable results 
with your NMS statistics.
