Dell Configuration Guide for the S4048–ON System 9.14.2.6

Using the Show Hardware Commands

• View internal interface status of the stack-unit CPU port which connects to the external management interface.
  EXEC Privilege mode
  show hardware stack-unit {1–6} cpu management statistics
• View driver-level statistics for the data-plane port on the CPU for the specified stack-unit.
  EXEC Privilege mode
  show hardware stack-unit {1–6} cpu data-plane statistics
  This view 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.
• View the modular packet buffers details per stack unit and the mode of allocation.
  EXEC Privilege mode
  show hardware stack-unit {1–6} buffer total-buffer
• View the modular packet buffers details per unit and the mode of allocation.
  EXEC Privilege mode
  show hardware stack-unit {1–6} buffer unit {0-1} total-buffer
• View the forwarding plane statistics containing the packet buffer usage per port per stack unit.
  EXEC Privilege mode
  show hardware stack-unit {1–6} buffer unit {0-1} port {1-64 | all} buffer-info
• View the forwarding plane statistics containing the packet buffer statistics per COS per port.
  EXEC Privilege mode
  show hardware stack-unit {1–6} buffer unit {0-1} port {1-64} queue {0-14 | all} buffer-info
• View input and output statistics on the party bus, which carries inter-process communication traffic between CPUs.
  EXEC Privilege mode
  show hardware stack-unit {1–6} cpu party-bus statistics
• View the ingress and egress internal packet-drop counters, MAC counters drop, and FP packet drops for the stack unit on per port basis.
  EXEC Privilege mode
  show hardware stack-unit {1–6} drops unit {0-1} port {1-64}
  This view helps identifying the stack unit/port pipe/port that may experience internal drops.
• View the input and output statistics for a stack-port interface.
  EXEC Privilege mode
  show hardware stack-unit {1–6} stack-port {portnumber}
• View the counters in the field processors of the stack unit.
  EXEC Privilege mode
  show hardware stack-unit {1–6} unit {0-1} counters
• View the details of the FP Devices and Hi gig ports on the stack-unit.
  EXEC Privilege mode
  show hardware stack-unit {1–6} unit {0-1} details
• Execute a specified bShell command from the CLI without going into the bShell.
  EXEC Privilege mode
  show hardware stack-unit {1–6} unit {0-1} execute-shell-cmd {command}
• View the Multicast IPMC replication table from the bShell.
  EXEC Privilege mode
  show hardware stack-unit {1–6} unit {0-1} ipmc-replication
• View the internal statistics for each port-pipe (unit) on per port basis.
  EXEC Privilege mode
  show hardware stack-unit {1–6} unit {0-1} port-stats [detail]
• View the stack-unit internal registers for each port-pipe.
  EXEC Privilege mode
  show hardware stack-unit {1–6} unit {0-1} register
• View the tables from the bShell through the CLI without going into the bShell.
  EXEC Privilege mode
  show hardware stack-unit {1–6} unit {0-1} table-dump {table name}
