show [PortNumber] <portnumber> portstat

All

Displays ATM statistics for a given port or all ports, represented in number of cells. These statistics relate to network resources management, congestion, and performance issues. The counter has a 32-bit maximum before it wraps around. Enter show portstat /d (detail) to obtain more details about the ports. Use clear portstat to reset port statistic counters.

clear [PortNumber] <portnumber> portstat

All

Clears the ATM cell counts and reinitializes all port statistics to “0” for the specified port or all ports. This command clears only the software values and does not flush the hardware registers, which might have counts accumulated since the registers were last read.
