Re: IOS Question regarding the tracking of sent/received data over an interface..

I'm probably wrong on this on, I'm only the engineer not the one doing the
monitoring. The guys who do the monitoring have told us engineers that we
should not clear counters when trying to debug problems because it affects
the numbers polled by SNMP.

I've never seen 'clear counters' affect the SNMP counters ever?

That would really disrupt all SNMP graphing of data, and we do a ton
of that on many devices on hundreds and hundreds of interfaces monitored.
Have done that for years and years, and never had a problem.
