Setting this write-only object to reset (1) clears every statistics counter on the node at once, across all ports, stations, and other counted objects; setting it to noReset (2) is a no-op. Because this wipes cumulative counters node-wide rather than for just one port or station, an admin should only use it deliberately, typically right after archiving or reviewing existing statistics, since all historical counts since the last reset are lost the moment this fires. For example, an admin would reset all stats right after documenting current CRC and overrun error counts for a monthly report, giving a clean baseline for the next reporting period.
