Usage Guidelines
You should view the switch statistics and port counters before you clear them. Use the
show ports
command to view port statistics. Use the
show log counters
command to show event statistics.
The CLI also provides a number of options that you can specify with the
clear counters
command. If
you specify an option, the switch only clears the statistics for that option. For example, if you want to
clear, reset only the STP statistics and counters, use the
clear counters stp
command. Please refer to the
specific chapter in the
ExtremeWare XOS Command Reference Guide
for more detailed information about
those commands.
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.
