Command History

ReleaseModification
11.2 GS

This command was introduced to support the Cisco 12012 Gigabit Switch Router.

11.1 CC

Multiple platform support was added.

Usage Guidelines

This command is available only on routers with line cards. This command clears CEF information only on the line cards; CEF information on the route processor is not affected.

Once you clear CEF information from line cards, the corresponding information from the route processor is propagated to the line cards. Inter Process Communication (IPC) ensures that CEF information on the route processor matches the CEF information on the line cards.

Examples

The following example clears the CEF information from the line cards:

clear cef linecard
