Figure 3-6.  Verifying Details about the Switch
You can also use the show hardware command to display the running code version. See the sample output 
in the section Downloading a Software Image on page 45. 
The 
show version command displays more details about the software packages installed, and also the 
hardware present on the system. This command provides the details shown by the 
show hardware and 
show sysinfo commands, along with interface information, the u-boot version number, and the system 
image file version. The 
show tech-support command is the most lengthy, because it includes the output 
from each of these other commands:
• show version
• show logging
• show eventlog 
• show port all
• show memory
• show process cpu 
• show running-config
Because output from the show tech-support command is so lengthy, Dell Force10 recommends that you set 
the storage buffer high on your terminal access program, then use the 
non-paged option — show 
tech-support non-paged — to collect the full report for off-line analysis.
