Parameters
cp Enter the keywords cp with a command option to clear the hardware statistics for
the Control Processor. The command options are:
● cpu data-plane statistics: Clears data-plane statistics, including the
high-Gigabit Ethernet (HiGig) port statistics with input/output counters to
which the stacking module is connected.
● cpu i2c statistics: Clears active i2c-address statistics.
● cpu sata-interface statistics: Clears sata-interface error counter
statistics.
cp-switch Enter the keyword cp-switch with a command option to clear the hardware
statistics for control-plane and protocol control traffic. The command options are:
● counters: Clears the counters for control-plane and protocol control packets
to troubleshoot an error condition.
linecard slot-id Enter the linecard slot-id parameters with a command option to clear the
hardware statistics for a specified switch line card. The range of slot IDs is from 0
to 11. The command options are:
● counters: Clears traffic counters on line-card ports.
● cpu data-plane statistics: Clears data-plane statistics, including the
HiGig port statistics with input/output counters to which the stacking module is
connected.
● cpu i2c statistics : Clears active i2c-address statistics.
● cpu sata-interface statistics: Clears sata-interface error counter
statistics.
unit unit-num Enter the unit unit-num parameters with a command option to clear hardware
statistics for a specified NPU. The range of NPU numbers is 0 to 3. The command
options are:
● counters: Clears the packets counters.
party-bus Enter the keyword party-bus with a command option to clear hardware
statistics for the party bus that links the switch CPUs. The command options are:
