Resetting the Statistics Counters
You reset statistics counters because:
❑ The counters no longer reflect the current information.
For example, disabling a port to fix a problem does not reset its
counters. After the error clears and you manually re-enable the
port, you might want its statistics to accumulate from a fresh start.
Otherwise, the counters and the graph not only still reflect
information associated with the error condition; the counters
continue to increment from the wrong baseline.
❑ As each frame type reaches the maximum of 2 32
(over 4 billion),
the statistics for that frame type resets to zero. Once this happens,
the counters and graph become inaccurately skewed.
To reset switch (system) counters, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, select Ethernet Statistics.
2. Select Zero all statistics on the entire system.
Both Receive and Transmit counters and graphs are reset to zero.
