Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) Commands

TDR is useful for troubleshooting an interface that is not establishing a link; either it is flapping or not coming up at all. TDR detects open or short conditions of copper cables on 100/1000/10G Base-T modules.

Important Points to Remember

  • The interface and port must be enabled (configured—see the interface command) before running TDR. An error message is generated if you have not enabled the interface.
  • The interface on the far-end device must be shut down before running TDR.
  • Because TDR is an intrusive test on an interface that is not establishing a link, do not run TDR on an interface that is passing traffic.
  • When testing between two devices, do not run the test on both ends of the cable.
