HP 2540 strange Behaviour
Good Morning, We have all Switches HP2540 with a strange behaviour.
I do command Show interfaces and I see lot of errors on some ports.
I do "Clear statistics 1-52 " to clear all statistics on port but if I logout/login I see the same packet/error before the command " Clear "
Could be a firmware Issue?
We installed the last firmware version ( 16.05.X )
Thanks
Giuseppe

Re: HP 2540 strange Behaviour
Does the same result happen if you commit the clear statistics global command and then perform a log-off/log-on before re-issuing the show interfaces display?
For sure something is going on...
P.S. Those reported look really (port) dropped tx frames, not just errors.

Re: HP 2540 strange Behaviour
I do seem to recall that "clear statistics" only relates to your session, it doesn't delete the statistics from the switch.

Re: HP 2540 strange Behaviour
@Vince-Whirlwind, totally possible...so I double checked one of the latest ArubaOS-Switch Management and Configuration Guide available to see what that command is supposed to do and this is the scope I found (resetting port counters):
"It is useful to be able to clear all counters and statistics without rebooting the switch when troubleshooting network issues. The clear statistics global command clears all counters and statistics for all interfaces except SNMP. You can also clear the counters and statistics for an individual port using the clear statistics <port-list> command."
and also:
"When executed with the port-list option, clears the counters and statistics for an individual port. When executed with the global option, clears all counters and statistics for all interfaces except SNMP. The show interfaces [<port-list>] command displays the totals accumulated since the last boot or the last clear statistics command was executed. The menu page also displays these totals."
with a special note:
"Once cleared, statistics cannot be reintroduced."
that says it all.
So, no matter what clear statistic command flavour is used, my take is that that command should produce an effect which is independent by user session.
Is that a regression/bug?

Re: HP 2540 strange Behaviour
Ok, but IF I want to clear the statistics not only for that session ?
