There are several FTOS “show” commands that can provide very useful information regarding Force10 Networks switches/routers. I have outlined a number of these very useful commands with a short description of each below. However, keep in mind that although most of the commands I reference below are available on all Force10 platforms some of the commands may only pertain to specific Force10 platforms such as the C-Series or E-Series.
– show inventory: shows all the hardware of the switch (chassis type, linecards, SFMs (switch fabric modules), power supply, and fans) and the associated serial number and part number. This command also shows any software protocols configured on the switch
– show environment: shows environmental information about the switch such as fan status (speed, temperature, etc..), power supply status, and unit status in regards to temperature and voltage
– show sfm: provides detailed information on each SFM module (active/inactive, up-time, temperature, etc…)
– show rpm: provides information on how many RPMs are present, FTOS version, card type, up-time, last restart, processor memory size, temperature, power status, etc…
– show linecard: provides information on how many linecards are present, status (onlne/offline) , current card type and card type required, # of ports, FTOS version, up-time, last restart, temperature, power status, etc…
– show version: shows the FTOS operating system version, the system type (S60, E300, etc…), amount of memory, system image file being used, and up-time of the switch
– show bootvar: displays the values of the boot variables which determines the image and configuration files used when the switch is powered-on or reloaded
– show redundancy: provides stack-unit status and configuration info (stack-unit ID, stack-unit state, link to peer, failover type, etc…) / RPM status and configuration info (primary/secondary, failover count, etc…)
