Resetting Counters in the Interface List

RouterOS General
1

Hello,

Would it be possible to reset the counters individually in the Interface list?

The only way i can do this at the moment is to reboot the mikrotik device…

Thanks.

Reset data from /interface/print stats

yeah, I was always wondering, what “/interface ethernet reset-counters” is… does it change at least something?..

3

No! sorry, thats not what i meant!

What i failed to add was there is no “Reset Counters” or “Reset All Counters” in Winbox under Interfaces/interface…

OK. Seriously, how do I reset the RX error count on an ethernet interface?

/interface ethernet reset-counters

…seems to do nothing. 5.0rc7 on x86.

5

that can only be done using CLI at the moment with this command

/interface ethernet reset-counters <interface>
6

Command doesn’t seem to work on an RB750.

7

An Update would be nice on this. It neither works on a RB433 (ROS 4.17)

8

I couldn’t get it to work on 5.1 on my 750 when I upgraded either. Some of the counters did seem to reset, but not all.

on interface counters it has to be driver supported. Some interfaces support that, some do not or do not yet.

Like Rb800, RB433 has this feature supported.
(/system ethernet reset-counters ether1)

edit:forgot to montion - use latest RouterOS version. in this case 5.x

10

will you add that to VLAN driver? ppp interfaces?..

11

Any update on resetting PPP interfaces? Clearly that isn’t drive dependant…

12

I’m running 5.22 on x86 and I it takes the /interface ethernet reset-counters ether1 command but it does nothing still.

13

RouterOS 6.7. The problem still remains…

14

Even with routerOS 6.15 is remains on my RB2011UAS.

The modem of my ISP is connected on port 10 and i have a provider with a datalimit (100GB/month). So it would be nice if i could see how much i’ve already downloaded/uploaded etc…

Resetting PPP interface would be nice!

What i found out…and it’s works for me
Remove the PPP interface and undo the remove.
by scrip:
/interface disable PPP1;
:delay 1s;
/interface ppp-client remove PPP1;
:delay 1s;
:undo;
:delay 1s;
/interface enable PPP1;

Prevent If the router has a power loss or whatever under the “resetting”…
can make a startup Boot script to recover or enable the PPP interface if it’s required…
