Clearing the Counters

argument, use the clear command in Privileged Exec mode.
clear counters [slot/port | all]
The following example clears port 8 of the counters:
(SafeGuardOS) # clear counters 0/8

Checking for Another Computer on the Network
To check whether another node is alive on the network, use the ping command in
Privileged Exec mode. To use this command, configure the device for network (in-band)
connection. The source and target devices must have the ping utility enabled and be
running on top of TCP/IP.
The SafeGuard device can be pinged from any IP workstation with which the device is
connected through the default VLAN (VLAN 1), as long as a physical path exists between
the device and workstation. The terminal interface sends three pings to the target device.
