Example: Enabling All System Diagnostics
Because debugging output takes priority over other network traffic, and because the debug all privileged
EXEC command generates more output than any other debug command, it can severely diminish switch
performance or even render it unusable. In virtually all cases, it is best to use more specific debug
commands.
Caution
This command disables all-system diagnostics:
Switch# debug all
The no debug all privileged EXEC command disables all diagnostic output. Using the no debug all command
is a convenient way to ensure that you have not accidentally left any debug commands enabled.
