Using the Show Hardware Commands

The show hardware command tree consists of commands used with the Aggregator switch.

These commands display information from a hardware sub-component and from hardware-based

feature tables.

NOTE: Use the show hardware commands only under the guidance of the Dell Technical

Assistance Center.

• View internal interface status of the stack-unit CPU port which connects to the external management

interface.
EXEC Privilege mode

show hardware stack-unit {0-5} 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 {0-5} 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 {0-5} buffer total-buffer

• View the modular packet buffers details per unit and the mode of allocation.

EXEC Privilege mode

show hardware stack-unit {0-5} 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 {0-5} 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 {0-5} 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 {0-5} 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 {0-5} drops unit {0-0} port {33–56}
