Reverts to the default policy for sync loss performance counter values.

Step 18 switch(config-port-monitor)# no counter

tx-performance
Reverts to the default policy for Tx performance counter values.

Step 19 switch(config-port-monitor)# monitor counter

rx-datarate
Turns on Rx performance counter.
switch(config-port-monitor)# monitor counter
tx-datarate
Turns on Tx performance counter.
switch(config-port-monitor)# no monitor
counter tx-datarate
Turns off Tx performance counter.
switch(config-port-monitor)# no monitor
counter sync-loss
Turns off monitoring sync loss.
switch(config-port-monitor)# no monitor
counter state-change
Turns off monitoring state change.
1. The error-pkt-port counter, the err-pkt-from xbar counter, and the err-pkt-to-xbar counter are all ASIC counters. All ASIC counters are
turned off by default. The Asic counters are queried every 10 seconds. If the ASIC corresponding to a specific ASIC counter sends or
receives any error packets during a 10-second interval, an error frame event occurs during the interval for that counter.
2. Falling-threshold value should be less than the rising-threshold value.
