show port cablestatus
11-6 Port Configuration
Parameters
Defaults
If no port-string is specified, port counters are cleared for all ports.
Mode
Switch command, read-write
Example
This example clears the port counters for ge.3.1.
C3(rw)->clear port counters ge.3.1
show port cablestatus
Use this command to troubleshoot and locate faults in copper cable connections on a per port
basis. This command is only available on switch platforms that provide 1 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45
ports.
Syntax
show port cablestatus [port-string]
Parameters
Defaults
If no port is specified, information about all ports will be displayed.
Mode
Switch command, read-only.
Usage
For 1 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports only, this command will display the status of the port’s cable
connection (described in Table 11-3 below), and the approximate length of the cable attached to
the port. If your switch platform does not support 1 GE RJ45 ports, this command will not be
available.
If no cable is attached to the port, the status will be “Open” and no length will be shown. If the
port is not a 1GE RJ45 port, the command will return a status of “Not Supported.”
Since running the cable diagnostics may momentarily interrupt packet flow, a warning message is
displayed and you are prompted to continue.
Example
This example shows the cable status for port ge.1.1.
C3(su)->show port cablestatus ge.1.1
port-string (Optional) Specifies the port or range of ports to clear port counter
