Clearing IPX MLS Cache Entries
Clear IPX shortcut entries in the Layer 3 table based on the entered criteria. The clear mls ipx command
clears shortcut entries in the Layer 3 tables matching configured parameters. If none of the following
parameters are entered, all IPX Layer 3 entries in the table are cleared:
• destination or source—Describes the IPX addresses of the origin and termination points being
purged.
• interface and its arguments must be specified, which limits the purge to entries associated with the
specified interface.
• macd (MAC destination) or macs (MAC source)—Specifies the source port or destination
interface arguments to consider when searching for entries to purge.
• slot—Clears only the entries associated with a specific slot number.
To clear the IPX MLS statistics, perform this task:
This example shows how to clear the MLS cache entries in the Layer 3 table IPX interface, Fast Ethernet
