EXEC Privilege mode
clear counters [interface] [vrrp [vrid] | learning-limit]
(OPTIONAL) Enter the following interface keywords and slot/port or number information:
○ For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port/subport information.
○ For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
○ For a Loopback interface, enter the keyword loopback then a number from 0 to 16383.
○ For the Management interface on the stack-unit, enter the keyword ManagementEthernet then the slot/port
information.
○ For a port channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then a number.
○ For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword vlan then a number from 1 to 4094.
○ (OPTIONAL) To clear statistics for all VRRP groups configured, enter the keyword vrrp. Enter a number from 1 to 255
as the vrid.
○ (OPTIONAL) To clear unknown source address (SA) drop counters when you configure the MAC learning limit on the
interface, enter the keywords learning-limit.
When you enter this command, confirm that you want Dell EMC Networking OS to clear the interface counters for that
interface.

Compressing Configuration Files
You can optimize and reduce the sizes of the configuration files.
You can compress the running configuration by grouping all the VLANs and the physical interfaces with the same property.
Support to store the operating configuration to the startup config in the compressed mode and to perform an image downgrade
without any configuration loss are provided.
You can create groups of VLANs using the interface group command. This command will create nonexistent VLANs
specified in a range. On successful command execution, the CLI switches to the interface group context. The configuration
commands inside the group context will be the similar to that of the existing range command.
Two existing exec mode CLIs are enhanced to display and store the running configuration in the compressed mode.
show running-config compressed and write memory compressed
The compressed configuration will group all the similar looking configuration thereby reducing the size of the configuration. For
this release, the compression will be done only for interface related configuration (VLAN & physical interfaces)
The following table describes how the standard and the compressed configuration differ:
