Usage Guidelines
You should view the switch statistics and port counters before you clear them. Use the
show port
command to view port statistics. Use the
show log counters
command to show event statistics.
Viewing and maintaining statistics on a regular basis allows you to see how well your network is
performing. If you keep simple daily records, you will see trends emerging and notice problems arising
before they cause major network faults. By clearing the counters, you can see fresh statistics for the time
period you are monitoring.
