Table 13-2. show hardware Commands
Command Description
show hardware stack-unit {0-5} cpu
management statistics
View internal interface status of the stack-unit CPU port which connects to
the external management interface.
show hardware stack-unit {0-5} cpu data-plane
statistics
View driver-level statistics for the data-plane port on the CPU for the
specified stack-unit. It provides insight into the packet types entering the
CPU to see whether CPU-bound traffic is internal (IPC traffic) or network
control traffic, which the CPU must process.
show hardware stack-unit {0-5 buffer
total-buffer
View the modular packet buffers details per stack unit and the mode of
allocation.
show hardware stack-unit {0-5} buffer unit {0-0}
total-buffer
View the modular packet buffers details per unit and the mode of
allocation.
show hardware stack-unit {0-5} buffer unit
{0-0} port {1-104 | all} buffer-info
View the forwarding plane statistics containing the packet buffer usage per
port per stack unit.
show hardware stack-unit {0-5} buffer unit
{0-0} port {1-104} queue {0-20 | all}
buffer-info
View the forwarding plane statistics containing the packet buffer statistics
per COS per port.
show hardware stack-unit {0-5} drops user-port View the ingress and egress internal packet-drop counters, MAC counters
drop, and FP packet drops for the stack unit on per port basis. It assists in
identifying the stack unit/port pipe/port that may experience internal drops.
show hardware stack-unit {0-5} stack-port
{1-104}
View the input and output statistics for a stack-port interface.
show hardware stack-unit {0-5} unit {0-0}
counters
View the counters in the field processors of the stack unit.
show hardware stack-unit {0-5} unit {0-0}
details
View the details of the FP Devices, and Hi gig ports on the stack-unit.
show hardware stack-unit {0-5} unit {0-0}
ipmc-replication
View the Multicast IPMC replication table from the bShell.
show hardware stack-unit {0-5} unit {0-0}
port-stats [detail]
View the internal statistics for each port-pipe (unit) on per port basis.
show hardware stack-unit {0-5} unit {0-0}
register
View the stack-unit internal registers for each port-pipe.
show hardware stack-unit {0-5} unit {0-0}
table-dump table name
View the tables from the bShell through the CLI without going into the
bShell.
