clear controllers ethernet-controller
Use the clear controllers ethernet-controller privileged EXEC command to clear the Ethernet link
transmit and receive statistics for a switch port and for a Long-Reach Ethernet (LRE) customer premises
equipment (CPE) device.

Usage Guidelines
The CPE Ethernet link is the connection between the CPE Ethernet port and the remote Ethernet device
(such as a PC) connected to it. It is not the link between the switch LRE port and the LRE CPE device.
It takes the switch several seconds to clear the CPE Ethernet ports. The CPE Ethernet ports on CPE
devices take longer to clear than all the other port types.
If you enter the clear controllers ethernet-controller privileged EXEC command without specifying
an interface-id, the switch clears the Ethernet link statistics for all ports on the switch. If you specify an
an interface, the switch clears the Ethernet link statistics for the specified port.
On a Catalyst 2950 LRE switch, if you use the cpe keyword, the switch clears the Ethernet statistics of
the LRE chipset and of all these CPE Ethernet ports:
•
•
If you enter the cpe port port-id keywords, the switch clears the Ethernet counters of the specified CPE
Ethernet port.
The Cisco 585 LRE CPE Ethernet ports cannot be cleared on a per-port basis, even by using the port-id

argument.
OL-10102-01
clear controllers ethernet-controller interface-id [cpe [port port-id]]
Clear the LRE CPE port statistics for all CPE ports. This keyword is available
only on a Catalyst 2950 LRE switch.
Clear the LRE CPE port statistics for a specific port. For port-id, the range is
1 to 4, depending on CPE device model.
This keyword is available only on a Catalyst 2950 LRE switch.
Modification
