CatOS basic show commands

Basic show commands on a Cisco CATOS based switch

Show commands are used as one time commands to show various properties or pieces of information about the current configuration on a system. Before knowing the actual show commands, there are certain fundamental rules to keep in mind; first off, all commands use a command line interface similar to MS DOS. All commands have a distinctive phrase to start them off; in this case it is that show comes before any command you give. Operations and commands vary from device to device; in this instance we are using CATOS Catalyst 6500 commands. Commands must be typed or copied into the interface; they can not be done by pressing a GUI.  Pressing the [enter] key after typing instructs the system to execute the command.

The following is a list of basic show commands on the Catalyst 6500:
show fm features displays information about the general feature manger
show fm inband-counters displays number of inband packets sent by the MSFC for SLB and WCCP
