Accessing an I/O Module through a Console
You can troubleshoot bootup problems for an I/O module by accessing the module through its console port.
This action establishes a console mode that you must exit in order to use other Cisco NX-OS commands.
To attach to the console port for an I/O module, use the attach console module command to specify the
module you need to work with. Specify a slot from 1 to2 or from 5 to 6.
To exit the console mode, enter the ~, command.
Note
Attach to the console port for the I/O module by entering the attach console module slot_number command.
Example:
switch# attach console module 1
connected
Escape character is `~,' (tilde comma]
Displaying Information for the Installed Modules
You can display information about the modules installed in the switch chassis by using the show module
command. This information includes module type, bootup status, MAC addresses, serial numbers, software
versions, and hardware versions. You can use this command in the following ways to display information
about all of the installed module or specific modules:
• For information on all modules, use the show module command.
• For information on a specific supervisor or I/O module, use the show module slot_number command to
specify a slot number.
• For information on a specific fabric module, use the show module xbar slot_number command to specify
a slot number.
For a description of the module status indicated by one of the above show module commands, see the following
table.
