"clear interface" on IOS 15.1

[Wassim Aouadi]

Hi networkers,

During WAN troubleshooting, I did a "clear interface ser0/0/0" on a branch router. It has two WAN links. I lost ssh/telnet connectivity but both WAN links were still replying to pings. We did a manual power off of the router to regain connectivity.
Is there a known issue with this command on this IOS version? We're using Cisco 2911 platform with IOS 15.1-1.T2 version.

thanks

Wass

That command is known to not do anything.

If you want to reset an interface, do shut/no shut.
