CLI: Useful Commands for Troubleshooting Sessions

Use the following commands in a troubleshooting session to more accurately
display the information you need to diagnose a problem. For more information
on other these CLI practices, refer to chapter Chapter 4, “Using the Command
Line Interface (CLI)”.

Syntax:

kill

Terminates a currently running, remote troubleshooting
session. Use the

show ip ssh command to list the current

management sessions.

For more information, see “Denying Interface Access by
Terminating Remote Management Sessions” in the “Interface
Access and System Information” chapter.

[no] page

Toggles the paging mode for

show commands between

continuous listing and per-page listing.

repeat

Repeatedly executes one or more commands so that you can see
the results of multiple commands displayed over a period of
time. To halt the command execution, press any key on the
keyboard.

For more information, see “Repeating a Command” in the
“Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)” chapter.

setup

Displays the Switch Setup screen from the menu interface.

System Failures: Core Dump Utility

The core dump feature automatically generates core dumps for enhanced
debugging capabilities in the event of system failure. Having this feature
enabled (the default), allows automatic capture of system crash information
that can be used for troubleshooting purposes. On the downside, the core
dump utility may slow down reboots. However, the potential impacts on
system performance are negligible compared to the potential benefits of
having the system crash information available when needed.
