Will a reboot of BigIP-LTM clear the connection table?

I need to clear the connection table. I just failed over to my standby unit, my old active unit has 78,729 close-wait connections and was dropping connections. Local Traffic Logs "Limiting open port RST response from 1262 to 250 packets/sec"

 

How can I clear the table? Reboot? Or is there a command I can run from the CLI to clear them out. This is also affecting the memory utilization on the machine.

    Thank you DevBabu.

     

    I didn't use the delete command but a reboot of the machine did the trick. This box has been up for a year and its an older BigIp so I thought a reboot was in order. Ran the command "reboot" from the CLI. This cleared out the connection table.
