Chapter 2 Configuring General Switch Features
Verifying the Hardware Configuration
Verifying the Hardware Configuration
Before you can configure your switch, you need to collect information about the cards and software
installed on the switch. The primary reason for collecting this information is to verify that the correct
cards are installed in the correct slots, and that the back cards installed are indeed compatible with the
front cards they serve. The “
” section of
and Software Configuration Worksheets,”
provides worksheets that you can use to record the hardware
installation for the different Cisco MGX switches.
The following procedure describes how to display the information you need to complete the hardware
survey worksheets. It also describes how to verify that the correct upper and lower back cards are
installed for each front card.
Step 1
Establish a configuration session at any access level.
Step 2
To display a list of all the cards installed in the switch, enter the dspcds command after the switch
prompt:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a>
dspcds
A Cisco MGX 8830 switch displays a report similar to the following example:
mgx8830b.1.PXM.a>
