Using show Commands to Verify Line Card Status

Note Using the show commands for interface information is viable only if the line cards have already been

configured.

The following procedure uses show commands to verify that the line card is configured and operating

correctly.

Step 1 Use the show version command to display the system hardware configuration. Ensure that the list

includes the new line card.

Step 2 Display all the current line cards with the show controllers command. Verify that the line card appears

in the correct line card slot.

Step 3 Specify the new line card with the show interfaces type slot-number/subslot/port-number command and

verify that the first line of the display specifies the line card with the correct slot number. Also verify

that the line card and line protocol are in the correct state: up or down.

Step 4 Display the protocols configured for the entire system and specific line cards with the show protocols

command. If necessary, return to configuration mode to add or remove protocol routing on the system

or specific line cards.

Step 5 Display the running configuration file with the show running-config command. Verify that the

configuration is accurate for the system and each line card.

If the line card is down and you configured it as up, or if the displays indicate that the hardware is not

functioning properly, ensure that the network interface is properly connected and terminated. If you still

have problems bringing the line card up, contact a service representative for assistance.
