Displaying complete GBIC information

You can obtain complete information for a GBIC port using the following
command:
show interfaces gbic-info <port-list>
Substitute <port-list> with the GBIC ports for which to display
information. If no GBIC is detected, this command shows no information.
This command is available in all command modes.

Displaying hardware information

To display a complete listing of information about the status of switch
hardware in the CLI, use the following command:
show system [verbose]
The [verbose] option displays additional information about fan status,
power status, and switch serial number.
Switch hardware information is displayed in a variety of locations in the
Web-based Management Interface and Java Device Manager. You need no
special options in these interfaces to display the additional information.

Shutdown command

The switch administrator can use this feature to safely shut down the switch
without interrupting a process or corrupting the software image.
After you issue the command, the configuration is saved and blocking is
performed, and the user is notified that it is safe to power off the switch. This
notification is supplied every second until the switch is shut down manually
or the command automatically resets the switch.
The syntax for the shutdown command is
shutdown [<minutes_to_wait>]
Substitute <minutes_to_wait> with the number of minutes to wait for
user intervention before the switch resets. If this parameter is not specified,
the switch waits for 10 minutes before resetting.
Use the shutdown command to safely shut down and power off the switch.
After you initiate the shutdown command, the switch saves the current
configuration which allows users to power off the switch within the specified
time period (1 to 60 minutes); otherwise, the switch performs a reset.
When you initiate the shutdown command in the CLI, the following message
appears: Shutdown (y/n) ?
