Clear counter in Nexus 5K

[johnlloyd_13]

hi all,

just a quick one, i tried to issue a 'clear counter et1/x' on our nexus 5k switch but got an error saying it's part of a port-channel.

tried to clear it using port-channel interface but can't. my question is, how do you issue a clear counter int x on a nexus switch?

I think x port belong to Channel Group.

I just ran the following command on my 5k and it worked just fine.  It is also a part of a VPC so I am not really sure what you the issue is on your switch.

# clear counters interface e1/1
Ethernet1/1 is member of port-channel105.
Clearing counters for physical port(s) which is/are part of a port-channel will cause inconsistency in statistics. Thus operation for those port(s) is skipped.
