Looking for a CLI to clear interface stats

[ScottV]

I am having issues with a Fibre line from a supplier and need evidence what they are doing is fixing it or not. I am running diag hardware deviceinfo nic wan1, to check counter stats for errors etc But I want to wipe it out and start fresh after they make a change so I can easily see if its working or not, (with out rebooting FG) I googled and read though a few CLI books for ages with out finding any thing good. Thanks

diag netlink interface clear <arg> on the CLI is suppose to clear the interface counters, but testing it on an 80CM it does not appear to work.

 # diag netlink interface clear ?
 arg    please input args
 

Also as far as I know it <arg> is the interface name but the command seems to happy accepting gibberish text as well.

Thanks for the reply Yeah doesn' t seem to work the FG in question for me is a 80C too V4 MR3 Patch 12

You can get the <arg> value by listing all interface names:

gate # diag netlink interface list
 
 if=lo family=00 type=772 index=1 mtu=16436 link=0 master=0
 ref=5 state=present flags=loopback 
 
 if=eth0 family=00 type=1 index=2 mtu=1500 link=0 master=0
 ref=2 state=start present flags=up broadcast run promsic multicast 
 
 if=wan1 family=00 type=1 index=3 mtu=1500 link=0 master=0
 ref=5 state=start present flags=up broadcast run multicast 
 
 if=modem family=00 type=1 index=4 mtu=1500 link=0 master=0
 ref=2 state=present flags=broadcast noarp 
 
 if=internal family=00 type=1 index=10 mtu=1500 link=0 master=0
 ref=130 state=start present flags=up broadcast run multicast 
 
 if=ppp0 family=00 type=512 index=27 mtu=1492 link=3 master=0
 ref=60 state=start present flags=up p2p run noarp multicast 
 

Here, " if=" denotes the interface' s name. Then,

 gate # diag netlink interface list ppp0
 
 if=ppp0 family=00 type=512 index=27 mtu=1492 link=3 master=0
 ref=59 state=start present flags=up p2p run noarp multicast 
 Qdisc=pfifo_fast 
 stat: rxp=171590 txp=199234 rxb=75128128 txb=30937297 rxe=0 txe=0 rxd=0 txd=0 mc=0 collision=0
 re: rxl=0 rxo=0 rxc=0 rxf=0 rxfi=0 rxm=0
 te: txa=0 txc=0 txfi=0 txh=0 txw=0
 misc rxc=0 txc=0 stop=0
 input_type=0 state=6 arp_entry=1 refcnt=59
 
 gate # diag netlink interface clear ppp0
 
 gate # diag netlink interface list ppp0                                                       
 
 if=ppp0 family=00 type=512 index=27 mtu=1492 link=3 master=0
 ref=58 state=start present flags=up p2p run noarp multicast 
 Qdisc=pfifo_fast 
 stat: rxp=13 txp=17 rxb=1534 txb=3148 rxe=0 txe=0 rxd=0 txd=0 mc=0 collision=0
 re: rxl=0 rxo=0 rxc=0 rxf=0 rxfi=0 rxm=0
 te: txa=0 txc=0 txfi=0 txh=0 txw=0
 misc rxc=0 txc=0 stop=0
 input_type=0 state=6 arp_entry=1 refcnt=58
 

That is, you qualify the " list" command to read out the counters (at least, some of them). Then I cleared the counters and repeated the read-out.

I need to clear the rx_fifo counters and with this command isn't possible.
