Chapter 9 Configuring Interfaces Monitoring and Maintaining the Interfaces Clearing and Resetting Interfaces and Counters Table 9-5 lists the privileged EXEC mode clear commands that you can use to clear counters and reset interfaces. Table 9-5 Clear Commands for Interfaces Command clear counters [interface-id] clear interface interface-id clear line [number | console 0 | vty number] Purpose Clear interface counters. Reset the hardware logic on an interface. Reset the hardware logic on an asynchronous serial line. To clear the interface counters shown by the show interfaces privileged EXEC command, use the clear counters privileged EXEC command. The clear counters command clears all current interface counters from the interface unless you specify optional arguments that clear only a specific interface type from a specific interface number. Note The clear counters privileged EXEC command does not clear counters retrieved by using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), but only those seen with the show interface privileged EXEC command. Shutting Down and Restarting the Interface Shutting down an interface disables all functions on the specified interface and marks the interface as unavailable on all monitoring command displays. This information is communicated to other network servers through all dynamic routing protocols. The interface is not mentioned in any routing updates. Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to shut down an interface: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Command configure terminal interface {vlan vlan-id} | {gigabitethernet interface-id} | {port-channel port-channel-number} shutdown end show running-config Purpose Enter global configuration mode. Select the interface to be configured. Shut down an interface. Return to privileged EXEC mode. Verify your entry. Use the no shutdown interface configuration command to enable an interface. To verify that an interface is disabled, enter the show interfaces privileged EXEC command. A disabled interface is shown as administratively down in the display.

Configuring Interfaces

Monitoring and Maintaining the Interfaces

Clearing and Resetting Interfaces and Counters

Table 9-5

lists the privileged EXEC mode

clear

commands that you can use to clear counters and reset

interfaces.

To clear the interface counters shown by the

show interfaces

privileged EXEC command, use the

clear

counters

privileged EXEC command. The

clear counters

command clears all current interface counters

from the interface unless you specify optional arguments

that clear only a specific interface type from a

specific interface number.

Note

The

clear counters

privileged EXEC command does not clear counters retrieved by using Simple

Network Management Protocol (SNMP), but only those seen with the

show interface

privileged EXEC

command.

Shutting Down and Restarting the Interface

Shutting down an interface disables all functions on the specified interface and marks the interface as

unavailable on all monitoring command displays. This information is communicated to other network

servers through all dynamic routing protocols. The interface is not mentioned in any routing updates.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to shut down an interface:

Use the

no shutdown

interface configuration command to enable an interface.

To verify that an interface is disabled, enter the

show interfaces

privileged EXEC command. A disabled

interface is shown as

administratively down

in the display.
