Check Port Capabilities
Use the show port capabilities command to display information about feature support for a specific port. Specify a module number to display information for ports on that module only. Specify a module number and port number to display information for that port only.
To check port capabilities, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
|
Command
|
Display switch port capability information.
|
show port capabilities [mod_num[/port_num]]
|
This example shows how to check the port capabilities of a specific port:
Console> (enable) show port capabilities 3/1
Trunk mode on,off,desirable,auto,nonegotiate
Flow control receive-(off,on,desired),send-(off,on,desired)
Check Network Connectivity
After you assign an IP address and a default gateway, and at least one switch port is connected to the network and properly configured, you should be able to communicate with other nodes on the network.
To check whether the switch is properly connected and configured, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
|
Command
|
Step 1 Ping another node on the network.
|
ping [-s] host [packet_size] [packet_count]
|
Step 2 (Optional) Trace the route of packets through the network to another node (only Layer 3 devices, such as routers, will appear in the path).
|
traceroute [-q nqueries] host [data_size]
|
Step 3 If the host is unresponsive, check the IP address, subnet mask, broadcast address, and VLAN assignment of the in-band (sc0) switch interface.
|
show interface
|
Step 4 If the interface is properly configured, check the default gateway assignment.
|
show ip route
|
This example shows how to check connectivity out a switch port using the ping and traceroute commands:
Console> (enable) ping 10.10.1.10
Console> (enable) ping -s 5509-ER-F1 1200 4

View Neighbor Information
Use the show cdp neighbors command to display information about directly connected Cisco devices. Specify a module number to display information for that module only. Specify a module number and port number to display information for that port only. The vlan, duplex, and capabilities keywords display different information about neighbor devices. The detail keyword shows detailed neighbor information.
To display neighbor information, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
|

|
Display neighbor device information.
|
show cdp neighbors [mod_num[/port_num]]
|
This example shows how to display summary information for all neighboring Cisco devices:
Console> (enable) show cdp neighbors

|
show cam [count]{dynamic | static | permanent | system} [vlan]
show cam {dynamic | static | permanent | system} mod_num/port_num
show cam mac_addr [vlan]
|
This example shows how to display all dynamically learned forwarding table entries for VLAN 10:
Console> (enable) show cam dynamic 10
* = Static Entry. + = Permanent Entry. # = System Entry. R = Router Entry.
