Hardware Commands
These commands display information from a hardware sub-component or ASIC.
clear control-traffic
Clear control-traffic statistics from a Z9500 CPU.
Syntax
clear control—traffic {all | cp—switch | linecard slot-id portset port-
pipe} counters
Parameters
cp-switch Enter the keyword cp-switch to clear the counters for control traffic on the
control plane.
linecard slot-id
portset port-pipe
Enter the slot ID and port pipe to clear the counters for control traffic on a
specified Z9500 line card and port set. The range of Z9500 slot IDs is from 0 to 2.
The range of port-pipe numbers is: 0 to 2 on line card 0 and 0 to 3 on line cards 1
and 2.
all Enter the keyword all to clear control-traffic statistics on the control plane and
all line cards.
Defaults None.
Command Modes EXEC Privilege

clear hardware
Clear statistics from a specified hardware component.
Syntax
clear hardware {cp {cpu {data-plane | i2c | sata-interface} statistics} |
cp-switch {counters} | linecard slot-id {counters | cpu {data-plane | i2c
| sata-interface} statistics} | unit unit-num {counters} | party-bus {port
port-num statistics | all} | rp {cpu {data-plane | i2c | sata-interface}
statistics} | sfm sfm-unit-no {counters}}
Parameters
cp Enter the keywords cp with a command option to clear the hardware statistics for
the Control Processor. The command options are:
● cpu data-plane statistics: Clears data-plane statistics, including the
high-Gigabit Ethernet (HiGig) port statistics with input/output counters to
which the stacking module is connected.
● cpu i2c statistics : Clears active i2c-address statistics.
● cpu sata-interface statistics: Clears sata-interface error counter
statistics.
cp-switch Enter the keyword cp-switch with a command option to clear the hardware
statistics for control-plane and protocol control traffic. The command options are:
