Using Debug Commands
Enabling Debugging on a Specific Feature
All debug commands are entered in privileged EXEC mode, and most debug commands take no
arguments. For example, beginning in privileged EXEC mode, enter this command to enable the
debugging for Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN):
Switch# debug span-session
The switch continues to generate output until you enter the no form of the command.
If you enable a debug command and no output appears, consider these possibilities:
•
The switch might not be properly configured to generate the type of traffic you want to monitor. Use
the
show running-config command to check its configuration.
• Even if the switch is properly configured, it might not generate the type of traffic you want to
monitor during the particular period that debugging is enabled. Depending on the feature you are
debugging, you can use commands such as the TCP/IP
ping command to generate network traffic.
To disable debugging of SPAN, enter this command in privileged EXEC mode:
Switch# no debug span-session
Alternately, in privileged EXEC mode, you can enter the undebug form of the command:
Switch# undebug span-session
To display the state of each debugging option, enter this command in privileged EXEC mode:
Switch# show debugging
Enabling All-System Diagnostics
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, enter this command to enable all-system diagnostics:
Switch# debug all
Caution Because debugging output takes priority over other network traffic, and because the debug all privileged
EXEC command generates more output than any other debug command, it can severely diminish switch
performance or even render it unusable. In virtually all cases, it is best to use more specific debug
commands.
The no debug all privileged EXEC command disables all diagnostic output. Using the no debug all
command is a convenient way to ensure that you have not accidentally left any debug commands
enabled.
Redirecting Debug and Error Message Output
By default, the network server sends the output from debug commands and system error messages to the
console. If you use this default, you can use a virtual terminal connection to monitor debug output
instead of connecting to the console port or the Ethernet management port.
Possible destinations include the console, virtual terminals, internal buffer, and UNIX hosts running a
syslog server. The syslog format is compatible with 4.3 Berkeley Standard Distribution (BSD) UNIX
and its derivatives.
