show hardware commands
The show hardware command tree consists of EXEC Privilege commands used with the S4810 system.
These commands display information from a hardware sub-component and from hardware-based feature
tables.
Table 14-3 lists the
show hardware commands available as of the latest FTOS version on the S4810.
Note: The show hardware command tree is supported on the S4810 and Z9000.
Note: The show hardware commands should only be used under the guidance of Dell Force10 Technical
Assistance Center.
Table 14-3. show hardware Commands
Command Description
show hardware stack-unit {0-11} cpu
management statistics
View internal interface status of the stack-unit CPU port which connects to
the external management interface.
show hardware stack-unit {0-11} cpu data-plane
statistics
View driver-level statistics for the data-plane port on the CPU for the
specified stack-unit. It 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.
show hardware stack-unit {0-11} buffer
total-buffer
View the modular packet buffers details per stack unit and the mode of
allocation.
show hardware stack-unit {0-11} buffer unit {0-1}
total-buffer
View the modular packet buffers details per unit and the mode of
allocation.
show hardware stack-unit {0-11} buffer unit {0-1}
port {1-64 | all} buffer-info
View the forwarding plane statistics containing the packet buffer usage per
port per stack unit.
show hardware stack-unit {0-11} buffer unit {0-1}
port {1-64} queue {0-14 | all} buffer-info
View the forwarding plane statistics containing the packet buffer statistics
per COS per port.
show hardware stack-unit {0-11} cpu party-bus
statistics
View input and output statistics on the party bus, which carries
inter-process communication traffic between CPUs.
show hardware stack-unit {0-11} drops unit {0-1}
port {1-64}
View the ingress and egress internal packet-drop counters, MAC counters
drop, and FP packet drops for the stack unit on per port basis. It assists in
identifying the stack unit/port pipe/port that may experience internal drops.
show hardware stack-unit {0-11} stack-port
{0-64}
View the input and output statistics for a stack-port interface.
show hardware stack-unit {0-11} unit {0-1}
counters
View the counters in the field processors of the stack unit.
show hardware stack-unit {0-11} unit {0-1} details
View the details of the FP Devices, and Hi gig ports on the stack-unit.
show hardware stack-unit {0-11} unit {0-1}
execute-shell-cmd {command}
Execute a specified bShell commands from the CLI without going into the
bShell.
