Clearing Interface Counters

You can clear (reset to zero) error, packet, and other counters associated with a specific interface, or all interfaces. You may find this useful if you want to track recent changes in one or more counters. For a complete list of interface and bridge port counters, see VNswitch Switch Packet Counters.
