Problem
I was looking for a way to clear (zero) ALL interface counters, (in my case on a 5412-Zl2).
Petes-HP-Switch# show int A1 Status and Counters - Port Counters for port A1 Name : Trunk Uplink Member 1 MAC Address : f40343-787aaa Link Status : Up Port Enabled : Yes Totals (Since boot or last clear) : Bytes Rx : 3,243,414,990 Bytes Tx : 4,155,683,352 Unicast Rx : 1,729,923,935 Unicast Tx : 3,184,593,493 Bcast/Mcast Rx : 24,777,382 Bcast/Mcast Tx : 59,001,502 Errors (Since boot or last clear) : FCS Rx : 56,422 Drops Tx : 0 Alignment Rx : 0 Collisions Tx : 0 Runts Rx : 0 Late Colln Tx : 0 Giants Rx : 4,869,708 Excessive Colln : 0 Total Rx Errors : 4,926,130 Deferred Tx : 0 Others (Since boot or last clear) : Discard Rx : 53 Out Queue Len : 0 Unknown Protos : 0 Rates (5 minute weighted average) : Total Rx(Kbps) : 4,176 Total Tx(Kbps) : 768 Unicast Rx (Pkts/sec) : 695 Unicast Tx (Pkts/sec) : 674 B/Mcast Rx (Pkts/sec) : 2 B/Mcast Tx (Pkts/sec) : 9 Utilization Rx : 00.04 % Utilization Tx : 0 %
Solution
The command I was looking for is, clear statistics local.
Petes-HP-Switch# clear statistics global
So now, my stats have ‘dropped” (Note: its a busy port!)
Petes-HP-Switch# show int A1 Status and Counters - Port Counters for port A1 Name : Trunk Uplink Member 1 MAC Address : f40343-787aaa Link Status : Up Totals (Since boot or last clear) : Bytes Rx : 1,759 Bytes Tx : 1,555 Unicast Rx : 1,630 Unicast Tx : 1,301 Bcast/Mcast Rx : 15 Bcast/Mcast Tx : 29 Errors (Since boot or last clear) : FCS Rx : 0 Drops Tx : 0 Alignment Rx : 0 Collisions Tx : 0 Runts Rx : 0 Late Colln : 0 Giants Rx : 0 Excessive Colln : 0 Total Rx Errors : 0 Deferred Tx : 0 Others (Since boot or last clear) : Discard Rx : 0 Out Queue Len : 0 Unknown Protos : 0 Rates (5 minute weighted average) : Total Rx(Kbps) : 1,120 Total Tx(Kbps) : 752 Unicast Rx (Pkts/sec) : 689 Unicast Tx (Pkts/sec) : 672 B/Mcast Rx (Pkts/sec) : 2 B/Mcast Tx (Pkts/sec) : 10 Utilization Rx : 00.04 % Utilization Tx : 0 %

Hi Pete,
thanks for this article, too!
I’ve cleared my statistics with clear statistics global (you wrote local instead of global in one passage above). In the console the counters are resetted in every session but not in the GUI.
Is there any trick for clearing them in the GUI? Maybe it is a bug since this firmware is older (16.01.xxxx on my 5406R-zl2).
I’ve tried to cross test it on a 2530 with firmware 16.10.xxxx but there is no global option available for the clear statistics command (https://community.arubanetworks.com/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?GroupId=25&MessageKey=fd7599ae-d3d4-49df-a3d5-e824e874ef4f).
Best regards
Andre
