clear counters

clear counters
To clear the interface counters, use the clear counters command.

clear counters [{interface interface-number} | {null interface-number} | {port-channel number}

| {vlan vlan-id}]

Syntax Description interface (Optional) Interface type; possible valid values are ethernet, fastethernet,
gigabitethernet, tengigabitethernet, pos, ge-wan, and atm.
interface-number (Optional) Module and port number; see the “Usage Guidelines” section for
valid values.
null (Optional) Null interface; the valid value is 0.
interface-number
port-channel (Optional) Channel interface; see the “Usage Guidelines” section for valid
number values.

12.1(8a)E3 Support for this command was introduced on the Cisco 7600 series routers.
12.1(11b)E This command was changed to include the pos, atm, and ge-wan keywords.
12.1(11b)EX This command was changed to support extended-range VLANs.
12.1(13)E This command was changed to include clearing traffic meter counters.

Usage Guidelines This command clears all the current interface counters from the interface unless you specify the
interface.

Note This command does not clear counters retrieved using SNMP, but only those seen when you enter the
show queueing interface command.

The interface-number argument designates the module and port number. Valid values for
interface-number depend on the specified interface type and the chassis and module used. For example,
if you specify a Gigabit Ethernet interface and have a 48-port 10/100BASE-T Ethernet module installed
in a 13-slot chassis, valid values for the module number are from 2 to 13 and valid values for the port
number are from 1 to 48.

Command Modes Privileged EXEC

Command History Release Modification

12.1(8a)E3 Support for this command was introduced on the Cisco 7600 series routers.

Usage Guidelines The module mod option is supported only on systems configured with a Supervisor Engine 2.
Entering any combination of input parameters narrows down the search of entries to be cleared. A 0 value
for src-port and dst-port clears all entries. Unspecified options are treated as wildcards, and all entries
are cleared. The src-port and dst-port values should be specified as one of the following: telnet, FTP,
WWW, SMTP, X, or DNS.
When entering the IPX address syntax, use the following format:
• IPX network address—1..FFFFFFFE
• IPX node address—x.x.x where x is 0..FFFF
• IPX address—ipx_net.ipx_node (for example 3.0034.1245.AB45, A43.0000.0000.0001)
Up to 16 routers can be included explicitly as MLS-RPs.
To use a router as an MLS, you must meet these conditions:
• The router must be included (either explicitly or automatically) in the MLS-SE.
• The MLS feature must be enabled in the Cisco 7600 series routers.
• The Cisco 7600 series routers must know the router’s MAC-VLAN pairs.
Use the following syntax to specify an IP subnet address:
• ip-subnet-addr—Short subnet address format. The trailing decimal number 00 in an IP address
YY.YY.YY.00 specifies the boundary for an IP subnet address. For example, 172.22.36.00 indicates
a 24-bit subnet address (subnet mask 172.22.36.00/255.255.255.0), and 173.24.00.00 indicates a
16-bit subnet address (subnet mask 173.24.00.00/255.255.0.0). However, this format can identify
only a subnet address of 8, 16, or 24 bits.
• ip-addr/subnet-mask—Long subnet address format. For example, 172.22.252.00/255.255.252.00
indicates a 22-bit subnet address. This format can specify a subnet address of any bit number. To
provide more flexibility, the ip-addr is a full host address, such as 172.22.253.1/255.255.252.00.
• ip-addr/maskbits—Simplified long subnet address format. The mask bits specify the number of bits
of the network masks. For example, 172.22.252.00/22 indicates a 22-bit subnet address. The ip-addr
is a full host address, such as 193.22.253.1/22, which has the same subnet address as the
ip-subnet-addr.
If you do not use the all keyword, you must specify at least one of the other four keywords (source,
destination, flow, or interface) and its arguments.

clear mls qos

Usage Guidelines

Note Entering the clear mls qos command affects the policing token bucket counters and might briefly allow
traffic to be forwarded that would otherwise be policed.

The number of valid values for port-channel number depends on the software release. For releases prior
to Release 12.1(3a)E3, valid values are from 1 to 256; for Releases 12.1(3a)E3, 12.1(3a)E4, and
12.1(4)E1, valid values are from 1 to 64. Release 12.1(5c)EX and later support a maximum of 64 values
ranging from 1 to 256. Release 12.1(13)E and later support a maximum of 64 values ranging from 1 to
282; values 257 to 282 are supported on the CSM and FWSM only.
The interface-number argument designates the module and port number. Valid values for
interface-number depend on the specified interface type and the chassis and module used. For example,
if you specify a Gigabit Ethernet interface and have a 48-port 10/100BASE-T Ethernet module installed
in a 13-slot chassis, valid values for the module number are from 2 to 13 and valid values for the port
number are from 1 to 48.
If your system is configured with a Supervisor Engine 1, valid values for vlan-id are from 1 to 1005. If
your system is configured with a Supervisor Engine 2, valid values for vlan-id are from 1 to 4094.
Extended-range VLANs are not supported on systems configured with a Supervisor Engine 1.
If you enter the clear mls qos command with no arguments, global and per-interface aggregate QoS
counters for all protocols are cleared.
If you do not enter an interface type, protocol aggregate QoS counters for all interfaces are cleared.

Examples This example shows how to clear global and per-interface aggregate QoS counters for all protocols:
Router# clear mls qos
Router#

12.1(11b)EX Support for this command was introduced on the Cisco 7600 series
routers.
12.1(13)E Support for this command on the Cisco 7600 series routers was
extended to the 12.1 E release.

Usage Guidelines RSTP and MST have built-in compatibility mechanisms that allow them to interact properly with other
versions of IEEE spanning tree or other regions. For example, a bridge running RSTP can send 802.1D
BPDUs on one of its ports when it is connected to a legacy bridge. An MST bridge can detect that a port
is at the boundary of a region when it receives a legacy BPDU or an MST BPDU associated with a
different region. These mechanisms are not always able to revert to the most efficient mode. For
example, an RSTP bridge designated for a legacy 802.1D stays in 802.1D mode even after the legacy
bridge has been removed from the link. Similarly, an MST port assumes that it is a boundary port when
the bridges to which it is connected have joined the same region. To force the MST port to renegotiate
with the neighbors, enter the clear spanning-tree detected-protocol command.
The valid values for interface-number depend on the specified interface type and the chassis and module
used. For example, if you specify a Gigabit Ethernet interface and have a 48-port 10/100BASE-T
Ethernet module installed in a 13-slot chassis, valid values for the module number are from 2 to 13 and
valid values for the port number are 1 to 48.
The number of valid values for port-channel number depends on the software release. For releases prior
to Release 12.1(3a)E3, valid values are from 1 to 256; for Releases 12.1(3a)E3, 12.1(3a)E4, and
12.1(4)E1, valid values are from 1 to 64. Release 12.1(5c)EX and later support a maximum of 64 values
ranging from 1 to 256. Release 12.1(13)E and later support a maximum of 64 values ranging from 1 to
282; values 257 to 282 are supported on the CSM and FWSM only.
If your system is configured with a Supervisor Engine 1, valid values for vlan are from 1 to 1005. If your
system is configured with a Supervisor Engine 2, valid values for vlan are from 1 to 4094.
Extended-range VLANs are not supported on systems configured with a Supervisor Engine 1.

copy /noverify

copy /noverify
To disable the automatic image verification for the current copy operation, use the copy /noverify
command.

copy /noverify source-url destination-url

Syntax Description source-url Location URL or alias of the source file or directory to be copied; see
the “Usage Guidelines” section for additional information.
destination-url Destination URL or alias of the copied file or directory; see the
“Usage Guidelines” section for additional information.

Defaults Verification is done automatically after completion of a copy operation.

Command Modes EXEC

Command History Release Modification

12.1(19)E Support for this command was introduced on the Cisco 7600 series routers.

Usage Guidelines The exact format of the source and destination URLs varies according to the file or directory location.
You may enter either an alias keyword for a particular file or an alias keyword for a file system type (not
a file within a type).

Timesaver Aliases are used to cut down on the amount of typing you need to perform. For example, it is easier
to type copy run start (the abbreviated form of the copy running-config startup-config command)
than it is to type copy system:r nvram:s (the abbreviated form of the copy system:running-config
nvram:startup-config command). These aliases also allow you to continue using some of the
common commands used in previous versions of Cisco IOS software.

Table 2-2 shows two keyword shortcuts to URLs.

Table 2-2 Common Keyword Aliases to URLs

Keyword Source or Destination

running-config (Optional) Specifies the alias for the system:running-config URL. This
keyword does not work in the more and show file command syntaxes.
startup-config (Optional) Specifies the alias for the nvram:startup-config URL. The
nvram:startup-config keyword represents the configuration file that is used
during initialization (startup). This file is contained in NVRAM. This keyword
does not work in more and show file EXEC command syntaxes.

Table 2-3 through Table 2-5 list aliases by file system type. If you do not specify an alias, the system
looks for a file in the current directory.
Table 2-3 lists the URL prefix aliases for special (opaque) file systems, Table 2-4 lists the URL prefix
aliases for network file systems, and Table 2-5 lists the URL prefix aliases for local writable storage file
systems.

Table 2-3 URL Prefix Aliases for Special File Systems

Alias Source or Destination

flh: Source URL for flash load helper log files.
nvram: Router NVRAM. You can copy the startup configuration into or
from NVRAM. You can also display the size of a private
configuration file.
null: Null destination for copies or files. You can copy a remote file to
null to determine its size.
system: Source or destination URL for system memory, which includes the
running configuration.
xmodem: Source destination for the file from a network device that uses the
Xmodem protocol.
ymodem: Source destination for the file from a network device that uses the
Xmodem protocol.

Table 2-4 URL Prefix Aliases for Network File Systems

Alias Source or Destination

ftp: Source or destination URL for an FTP network server. The syntax for
this alias is as follows:
ftp:[[[//username [:password]@]location]/directory]/filename.
rcp: Source or destination URL for an rcp network server. The syntax for this
alias is as follows: rcp:[[[//username@]location]/directory]/filename.
tftp: Source or destination URL for a TFTP network server. The syntax for
this alias is tftp:[[//location]/directory]/filename.

Table 2-5 URL Prefix Aliases for Local Writable Storage File Systems

Alias Source or Destination

bootflash: Source or destination URL for boot flash memory.
flash: Source or destination URL for Flash memory. This alias is available on
all platforms. For platforms that lack a Flash: device, note that flash: is
aliased to slot0:, allowing you to refer to the main Flash memory storage
area on all platforms.
slavebootflash: Source or destination URL for internal Flash memory on the slave RSP
card of a device configured for HSA.
slaveram: NVRAM on a slave RSP card of a device configured for HSA.

Table 2-5 URL Prefix Aliases for Local Writable Storage File Systems (continued)

Alias Source or Destination

slavedisk0: Source or destination URL of the first PCMCIA card on a slave RSP
card of a device configured for HSA.
slavedisk1: Source or destination URL of the second PCMCIA slot on a slave RSP
card of a device configured for HSA.
slaveslot0: Source or destination URL of the first PCMCIA card on a slave RSP
card of a router configured for HSA.
slaveslot1: Source or destination URL of the second PCMCIA slot on a slave RSP
card of a router configured for HSA.
slot0: Source or destination URL of the first PCMCIA Flash memory card.
slot1: Source or destination URL of the second PCMCIA Flash memory card.

You can enter on the command line all necessary source- and destination-URL information and the
username and password to use, or you can enter the copy command and have the switch prompt you for
any missing information.
If you enter information, choose one of the following three options: running-config, startup-config, or
a file system alias (see previous tables). The location of a file system dictates the format of the source
or destination URL.
The colon is required after the alias. However, earlier commands not requiring a colon remain supported,
but are unavailable in context-sensitive help.
The entire copying process may take several minutes and differs from protocol to protocol and from
network to network.
In the alias syntax for ftp:, rcp:, and tftp:, the location is either an IP address or a host name. The
filename is specified for the directory that is used for file transfers.
Enter the file verify auto command to set up verification globally.

Examples This example shows how to disable the automatic image verification for the current copy operation:
Router# copy /noverify tftp: sup-bootflash:
.................................................
[OK - 24301348 bytes]
24301348 bytes copied in 157.328 secs (154463 bytes/sec)
