System Information

Use the show sys command to display system status and technical information about the switch hardware components and software configuration. The command shows several pages of information, including general information about the system (such as location), chassis (type, serial number, and base MAC address), temperature, power supplies, fans, cards, system errors, port locks, topology status, and message control information. The syntax for this command is as follows.

The following table explains parameters for this command.

Table 1. Command parameters
Parameter	Description
control	Shows system control settings.
default-ping-context	Specifies the default context for ping and traceroute commands.
dns	Shows the DNS default domain name.

priv-exec-password	Shows whether authentication is enabled for the Privileged EXEC CLI command mode.
setting	Shows system settings.
software	Shows the version of software running on the switch, the last update of that software, and the Boot Config Table. The Boot Config Table lists the current system settings and flags.
stats	Shows system statistics. This parameter does not apply to all hardware platforms.
topology-ip	Shows the circuitless IP set.
vim-speed	Shows the speed of all ports of the VIM.
