Switching enable switch debug 8-135
Software Release 2.7.3
C613-03098-00 REV A
enable switch debug
Syntax ENAble SWItch DEBug={ARL|CMIC|DMA|QOS|S5600|PHY|ALL}
[OUTput=CONsole] [TIMEOut={1..4000000000|NONE}]
Description This command enables the specified switch debug mode or all switch
debugging. Be aware that enabling debug may flood the receiving Telnet
session or asynchronous port with raw data.
The debug parameter specifies the switch debug mode to be disabled
(Table 8-22 on page 8-116). If all is specified, all switch debugging modes are
enabled.
The output parameter set to console specifies that the debugging information
produced is sent to the console. The debugging data is by default sent to the
port on which it received the enable switch debug command. Use this option
if the command is used in a script, since a script is not received on a port.
The timeout parameter specifies the time in seconds that switch debugging is
enabled. This reduces the risk of the switch and the display being overloaded
with too much debugging information. This value overrides any previous
switch debugging timeout values, even if they were specified for other
debugging modes. If timeout is not specified, the time out is the most recent
timeout value previously used in an enable vlan debug command, or none if it
has not been previously set.
Example To enable the ARL switch debugging mode, use the command:
enable switch debug=arl
