View the Topology Message Status

About this task

View topology message status to view the interconnections between Layer 2 devices in a network.

Procedure

  1. To enter User EXEC mode, log on to the switch.
  2. Show the contents of the topology table:

    show autotopology nmm-table

    Unless the switch is physically connected to other devices in the network, this topology will be blank.

Example

Note

Note

In the following example, the column “ChassisType” uses a generic name. When you use the show autotopology nmm-table, your switch displays the actual chassis type.

Switch:1(config)#show autotopology nmm-table

Note

When a peer switch is running an older software version that does not include support for SONMP hello messages with channelization information, it can only show the slot/port. It cannot show the sub-port.
