Display/Update Frame Relay PVC Statistics

To clear the PVC statistics counters, you must enter the test number followed by the update
symbol ( 2,u ) on the Communications menu. This will enable the PF4 key to clear all counters
for the currently displayed PVC. A 584__32 event will be logged if PF4 is used to clear the
Frame Relay PVC counters.

The maximum value for all counters is 4,294,967,295. Once a counter has reached the
maximum value, it will start back at zero.

The refresh key (PF9) can be used to update the statistics for the currently displayed PVC.
The PF7 and PF8 keys can be used to display statistics for other Frame Relay PVCs.
