HI

I think it clears the configuration of the specified interface.

Thanks

The clear interface command does not clear the configuration. The clear interface command will restart (or reset) the interface. It is like dropping the interface and bringing it back up again. Sometimes an interface may hang or get into some invalid state and a clear interface will restart the interface and resolve the error.

Go into config mode, go into interface config mode on that interface, do no ip address, no

Then exit config mode and save running-config to startup-config.

you will have to shut the interface again, if you had previously.

Hi Devang,

clear interface serial command is used to reset the statistical information specific to a serial interface.
