TOP Command

To change the debug tracing facility for a certain system to a specified debug level, use the following
command:
configure debug-trace <system> <level> vlan <vlan name>
Some of the debug trace systems commands can be applied to a particular VLAN, some apply to the
switch as a whole, so the option is not available with all systems.
vlan
To display the debug tracing configuration, use the following command:
show debug-trace <system> vlan <vlan name>
Again, the option is not available with every system.

System Odometer

Each field replaceable component contains a system odometer counter in EEPROM. You can use the
command to see how long an individual component has been in service since it was
show switch
manufactured.

Reboot Loop Protection

If the system reboots due to a failure that remains after the reboot, it reboots when it detects the failure
again. To protect against continuous reboot loops, you can configure reboot loop protection using the
following command:
configure reboot-loop-protection threshold <time-interval> <count>
If the switch reboots the specified number of times within the specified time interval, it stops rebooting
and comes up in minimal mode. If you reboot the switch manually or commands,
run diagnostics
the time interval and count are both reset to 0.

Minimal Mode

In minimal mode, only the CPU, NVRAM, management port, and minimal tasks are active. The
following commands are supported in minimal mode:
• reboot
• unconfigure switch all
• unconfigure switch
• use image
• use configuration
• download bootrom
